Resin under base tip and tail at the edges
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2023 6:14 am
So, I have made about 10 pairs of ski's in the last year and a have.
And the first hade some resin/epoxy in the base but not so much.
But the laste few i made all had a lot of resin under the tip and tail at the edges.
When i did a full wrap edge it was everywhere along the edges.
Now i did a 3/4 wrap and again puddles of epoxy.
I have tried pre bending tip and tail, layup on another table, squeezing as much resin out of the fabric befor layup.
I use a vaccuumpress, i uses to use a solid MDF mold but now i made an adjustible one and put a 6mm thick plate on in.
Any other tips?
Ps, last pair i traid to grind (beltsander) it out a bit more, but i went to far and the edges gave away and base is very thin, I'll try to cut out some base and edges and re gleu new parts....
