Dang... i have a new appreciation for everyone on here that can pump out a really nice turf job...
I started trying to turf my ski last night... I tried making no cuts at all on the entire piece on the side including making no cuts in the area that went in the foothold... that got all F'd up, so I had to rip the entire piece off and start over....
Started over with new confidence and better planning... this time I made a cut inside the foothold and after it was all placed it ended up being shaped like a triangle... everything else layed up good this time and I filled the triangle shape back in with a little piece of turf. I still made about 2 little errors with the turf bunching up in the hold an had to cut little flaps out to get the turf to lay down flat... used some superglue in these places....
Next I cut all the way from the back to the front along the outside edge... I need to learn to be better with a razor blade.... I sucked at this! I scratched my ski 2 times and cut the turf to far in 2 times as well!!!!! I filled in the little spots with more turf and superglue and will touch up the scratches with a little auto paint touch up... but DANG... I have a new appreciation for doing a super nice turf job!
It did turn out fairly good as I tried to make the repairs as good as possible... I can prob get a free pass if any of you guys see it as it was my first time
. I will post pics up in my build thread when I'm all done.... if everything goes right I will finish tomorrow night. Later guys.
