I looked in to adiprene and cant really find any place to buy it, also be doing some reading on ADIPRENE LFP 950A and it says it needs to be heat cured. Is it needed or is it possible to cure at room temp?chrismp wrote:Never tried it like this, but I don't see why it shouldn't work. If you plan on making such a long section with just PU, I'd recommend getting a harder formula (around 60 shore D) to avoid getting too soft tips.

The PU on both those boards is very nicely done! Impressive.
The boards are also very beautiful! Great work and thanks for sharing.
Can you please clarify. You said that the Red PU shown in the pictures is actually white 310 with red dye.
The link you posted however (http://www.smooth-on.com/index.php?cPath=5_1120_1156) takes me to these formulas that are clear, not white:
Crystal Clear® 202 - 90 min. cure time - for 1/16" - ½" thick castings
Crystal Clear® 200 - 16 hour cure time - for ½" - 3" thick castings
Crystal Clear® 204 - 48 hour cure time - for 3" - 6" thick castings
Crystal Clear® 206 - 5 day cure time - greater than 6" thick
Crystal Clear® 220 - MUST BE HEAT CURED - Click here to read CC220 Tech. Bulletin
Here is the link to the 310 : http://www.smooth-on.com/Urethane-Plast ... index.html
Is this correct?
Thanks!
Guess I'm not going to go with them the smallest amount they sell is 5 gallons.backyardskier wrote:ok good to know, I'm going to go with them.
My sidewalls held up OK (PCM790 rubber from Smooth-On) this winter even though Smooth on advised me against using this product at temps under -20C...backyardskier wrote:Guess I'm not going to go with them the smallest amount they sell is 5 gallons.
So smooth on people how are the sidewalls holding up from this unusually cold winter?
Would you like me to put some strips in a freezer? This are 310 strips, 1/4" wide (my router bit) by 5-6mm high, precured PU as per here:backyardskier wrote:Guess I'm not going to go with them the smallest amount they sell is 5 gallons.backyardskier wrote:ok good to know, I'm going to go with them.
