funny, I though t you worked in the industry. It is common knowledge that VDS is for bonding/sealing and has no dampening at all. Maybe if you sandwiched the entire core in a wrap of rubber, but then the skis would be heavy as hell like allot of rossi skis. If it works to assist the bond of the edg...

On the never ending topic of attaching poly sidewalls comes this old Tap Plastics video I found today.

The Godfather's coming to Reno? If you throw a bbq, I'll bring the beer and brats! The local community college (TMCC) tried to support a ski building class two springs ago. Tremendous turnout but the teacher was a complete bonehead and it destroyed what could have been a great program. It's too bad....

Yep, It's snowing at Tahoe. Now if you attach all those spacers together from the outside with one long narrow board before you remove them you will have a comb for that ski. Then, next time you want to profile that design, you insert the comb and plane. That's the only difference between what you h...

So if you are pressing bottom heat only what temps and duration are you using? Again, I'm using the QCM epoxies. Why you ask? After eating more than my share of pizza (right!) KT and I decided to do a quick test lay-up/full press trial before attempting our first ski. Not only was I light on the epo...

Heat Blanket - Bottom Only
I was chatting with Idris and mentioned I was planning on using only one heat source located on the bottom. I guess will increase camber. Is anyone else using bottom heat only? Short of reducing the camber of my press are there other pressing techniques that can be used to reduce camber? Cure temp/P...
