how to find inserts again?
im looking for an approved method to find inserts in skis or sonwboards again after pressing.
with my first tries i ended up measuring out the inserts in the ski, didn t got them with the first drills. took me 3 tries to find them
i know that some inserts are plastic capped and filled with (magnetic) metal powder, being relocated with a magnet after pressing. i never tried this method, so im not sure if this is a secure method. is it?
are there any other methods like templates with drill holes etc?

if your inserts stick out a couple thousandths above the core... after pressing, rub the top lightly with sidewalk chalk... you'll see them.
or get camax bullseye stickers. Its' just a roll of sticky magnetic film stamped to the diameter of the insert cap.
drill out with a countersink bit... preferrably on a drill press
