    Other how do you say no

    Just tell whoever is asking to ride your ski how much it is worth and that that will be the amount they owe you when they sink it

    do you like trucks?

    I like the look of them out lol Also, then it feels natural to look farther out when I'm hauling cow trailers all summer. I guess some people like the look, others don't. And thanks. No dpf and I put the cat back on when a buddy of mine got his truck impounded and a $2000 fine. Definitely...

    I did a layer of 17oz glass underneath the layer of carbon. That stuff is pretty thick so I'm hoping that will be the main support...In the end, it was mostly for looks. I didn't want to add too much weight so I went with only one layer of glass and one of carbon. But imo, it still feels...

    Well time flies when you're busy! I finally set aside a weekend and decide to hammer out the carbon work. Took about 25 hours total with all the cutting, measuring, taping and so on. Big thanks to FlashFx for some really helpful tips. For my first time working with carbon, I think it worked...

    Super Jet Lay glass then wet out?

    Definitely put down a layer of resin first if you're using biax I just reinforced my ski with 17oz and I don't think it would have wet out completely if I didn't put a thin layer of epoxy down. Also mentioned above, once its wet, its pretty easy to slide around to get it in the exact place you want

    So I decided to take a little break from the glasswork side of the job and have some fun with paint. Here's what I did to my pump and motor mounts. Started by prepping the surfaces, then primed. Put down a metallic textured basecoat, then an anodized blue, and finished it with two coats of...

    I will try to get pictures of what I did for the pump up soon. It was no easy task, but once you get it properly aligned and fitted, the glassing work is easy. Will have more on this later, currently busy studying for finals. Feel free to pm me if you have any urgent questions

    Thanks for the advice on the bondo, what I decided to do was use it as a base, sanded it down smooth, then put epoxy over the top and sanded that flush with the areas i was looking to make flat (like the hood area). Not sure if this will work or not but I guess I'll find out. The laws arent...

    Here's the Tom21 wide tray and also the Tom21 144 intake tunnel. As you can see, it is MUCH bigger than the little baby 122. Will also be running toby footholds with 1 inch padding. I traced the footholds to the tray and then made the appropriate cuts. It will be awhile before I finally...

    Next up was to cut out the tray (going to be putting in a Tom21 14.5 inch tray). Defoaming was pretty easy since it was completely dry, which kinda made me a little sad, but since the ski was so clean I knew it would be :doh: Anyways, that didn't take too long, filled up a couple trash cans...
