Can I use top sheet as a base?

Post by bender »

I have some top sheet that I am not using. Can I use this as base material? It has a shiny surface. Could I just sand it back so it will take up the wax?

Cheers

i dont think that would be a good idea. topsheets are much thinner than base material and wouldnt stand the abuse.
plus, i dont know if they absorb wax like base material does.

yeah way to thin. Plus its not sintered it would be like the old extruded base material and that was garbage.

You can use Base material as a super tough top sheet though.
