Materials in Europe, help me please!

Post by chaka »

Hi, I,m trying to get the materials to start building my first pair of homebuilt skis, but i´m having problems with the base, the abs for the sidewall and the tipspacers, and the topsheet (i´ve been looking for an opaque topsheet, p-tex or whatever, but a clear one would be o.k.).
I live in Spain and it would be nice if someone in Europe could help me telling me where can I buy small quantitys (I would like to buy materials for 3 or 4 pairs).
If somebody in Europe who has bought big quantitys would sell me something it would be even better...

Thanks a lot guys.

I have:
PTEX2000 black, green and gray at 9 euro/m
PTEX900 and PTEX2000 trasparent at 5 euro/m (they made a mistake and they sold me the 2000 at the same price than the 900)
edges at 1.5 euro/m, they come in pieces 2m long.

Shipping is about 20/30 euros.

Ok guys I´m interested in anything you can offer me, I´ll tell you when I decide what I´m going to do.
I´m thinking about using abs sidewalls, fixing the to the core before profiling, but actually I haven´t been able to get the abs yet... could you help me about this?

Hey, that sounds nice...I am trying to get my hands on the topsheet material as well :) When you are saying white topsheet, you mean just white or transparent?

I ordered already a couple of rolls of VDS rubber and will probably have some to provide to others. Look at the sales forum for further information.

Best regards,
