I decided to make a mess in someone else's space tonight, so I went to campus and used the lab.
Here it is, all cleaned up:
All the "character" that I was worried about in the topsheet will sand out. I did a small part right in the binding are as a test, just in case it went wrong. A little sanding and a coat of spar varnish, and it looked damn good.
So I finally got into the lab tonight to press the 2nd ski. Everything went as smooth as it could have. I had the mold re-surfaced with Alu. sheet, all the glass got pre cut, everything fit sweet.
Then 45 minutes into the bagging the vacuum pump died.
