I thought more about the metal app. Too much warping perhaps. You could construct a hollow form out of cardboard and they could dip and cast just that, so no mold necessary.
Unfortunately MDF is the best answer and its sounds like you found it.

can't believe you haven't used mdf in all your building.
I can make radius tip pieces on my Eastman cutter machine out of plastic and send them to you.

Perfect radius. For my tip and tail I am using 26 cm R

lost wax investment casting of AL might be an option if you new how to use these technics, it could be cheap. I f you could build a mold, and pour a wax and gate it appropriately, hollow bottom, and give it to a foundry gated in your area the cost of the investment/colloidal silica and the AL would ...

what about an acrylic resin?
Variety of hardness and kinda easy to work with. You have to build a mold first.

I just never use that site. i have been a member for ever and since the lady started with pics of the dogs all of a sudden I am friends with people I haven't talked to in over 10 years and people I don't even know. I prefer slight interweb anonymity.
I will check it out if I think about it.

So I took these out in little fresh snow. I should rename them the rocket ships. They plane in the pow instantaneously. 0-30 mph in about 25 ft. The pin tail sinks in and makes them plane even more. Real hard to telewack on since I am pretty much 60/40 in a tele turn and the up hill ski or the less ...

well the same carbide cutter head cuts all sorts of aerospace fibers like carbon and lots of other crap. I got brand new blades and pressure is unlimited.

There main customers are aerospace, helies and planes and such doubt it would be a prob send me a sample.
pm me

work me up some designs I am auto|CADS retarded.
This is the exact machine, volkle, line, K2, rossi, elan, and dynastar uses.
Talked for a long time with the tech who moved it for us to our new facility. I will cut whatever you want.

I think you might be seeing a bit of excess epoxy in your ski if it weighs that much. I think a pneumatic press with a poplar core at 13mm at its thickest would not be that heavy.

TO THE TOP!!

This is the same person under my new name.
I have cut base on this works like a dream.
Send me your base I will cut it for a nominal fee-and a dxf file.
I can't get sno cad exported files to import into this plotter program properly I would like to try other renderings of dxf files.

You obviously cant press a capped ski with a cat track. The "simple physics" wont allow it to work. Is this interweb sarcasm? Is a capped ski made by having the airbag wrap around the sides and laminate the topsheet to the core/sidewalls? I thought it was in a mold, not a cassette, but a ...

why are the big dogs at like 80 then??

they never answered my request for a quote. i ended up going through OEM: not stoked. I also screwed up on my end and tried to cut costs by getting a smaller blanket. I went too small, especially for my double ski press. if anyone wants a 4"x85" wide blanket, let me know. Price?? Your mis...
