ski came out great steve, i love the foothold concept... I've been tossing an idea like that also but just want to get my project finished first...
great job!
use an epoxy as the surface coat and then just apply an aliphatic based polyurethane designed for epoxy to do just that, its easy to apply and tough... I would think you could spray a couple layers in mold/epoxy surface/layup. I have no experience doing that though as im working mostly with...
Tom is the man, and these foot holds are the best.....with 25mm padding top and bottom its a perfect fit with matflex's
they are worth the wait!!!!
here is a sxr I just installed them in for a friend
purchesed some parts from Legdragger64, guy was great help and super quick to ship out the parts....
all parts were just as described and packaged great.... A+ thanks
Im wanting to test my panels using a press and pressure transducer, see how much it takes to break and also compare pressures giving a pre-set preload... I was also thinking of doing a twist test. Others could learn alot even from bending by hand i think.
Carbon= strong and stiff, light...
im just about to start testing with some panels... I think some of the layups may surprise you, but i do not plan on a standard core
but really the test are just to help me come up with an educated guess b/c once you build one and find out what the issues are you dont know what your looking for...
Huge thanks to Tom21 (http://www.x-h2o.com/member.php?624-tom21) for his great service and fast shipping....
Purchased some of his new 25mm footholds, and these things are nice!

to build the strength and thickness i think it needs. Once i put the hull under tests i can see what issues
I have and address them then instead of pre assuming them and doing something i...

I have asked the same thing to an aerospace composite guy that uses lots of honycomb and he said not to and to
use something like pvc foam, he called it something but i cant remember...
He also has me using visual carbon only on the first layer if its going to be seen and then i use a biax...
HAHA, Thats one of the changes I have implemented into my design, I added rocker and also rockered the
actual bondline slightly and gave it some built in kick on the rear that will not allow it to not grab water so much
and give a much quicker reaction...
I forgot to write last night about what...
I was impressed with it so much also and love the way it looks... After not hearing from him on purchasing one I decided to build my own version!!!
I will be posting more about it soon, but wanted to get further along before doing so.
Im just about to take a mold off the modded bottom hull and...
