Snow Surf - Ptex to full wood core
Posted: Mon Dec 09, 2019 1:56 pm
Hey Membrs!
New to the group and idea of building your own ride.
I'm interested in making a snowsurf with some wicked 3D designs and boat hull shapes kind of like the new Jones jones board and/or jones snosurf.
I was thinking of making the entire thing out of wood, I've bent wood on a number of occasions and figure I can make the mold accordingly, soften the wood and get the shape I'm after. Therefore no need for composites, fiberglass, edges etc... This board is only used in good conditions and doesn't need any flex therefore a much more simplified version of what the group here has managed to achieve.
My question stems from putting down the ptex to get a solid fast glide on snow. What's the process to attach ptex to a wood base without any of the other core components? Is it as simple as adding the ptex to the mold and epoxying everything together? Apologies about the noob question but can't seem to find anything on simply ptex attachment.
Thanks in advance for all your help!!
