I guess everyone has their own style when it comes to where to hit it.
My ski has:
785 Big Bore built by Trey St. John back in the day
Sectioned Raider Chamber
Advent
Solas Mag
Nothing too special, no Vtec.
This didn't work out how planned. I wanted to go for a one hand, one footer but I came unglued. Looked cool mid air, just glad I didn't rip my ankle off.
I think I might bullnose it a little too. Ill have to shoot you a message on fb and get your input. Most of my riding is boat chasing so I want to keep spray down and also handle the chop.
Why does everyone rocker the front up past the bondline? I remember the carbon blaster thread and they didn't. I've always wondered how much of that rocker was really necessary. If you just sloped the front to meet the bondline you'd gain about 5-6 inches in rocker, how much of that is really...
I would sand it down as far as you can, then when you're ready put biax over it. Hit it hard with the DA. You shouldn't need many layers of biax IMO. Again, Dave is the expert, he does glass work all day every day. I'd make a post for him on Delmarva or send him a msg on FB.
I usually use something in the 10-12 oz range for tight areas and If you need more just layer it. Bigger spces sometimes ill use heavier. Use as little resin as possible to keep it wet and as little as needed overall to keep weight down. Glad Brad was able to confirm that I wasn't lying to you. Lol.
No, I can't make Daytona this year unfortunately.
Def do some research. Chop is meant for building up areas but you should def use biax. Just out of curiosity, you are using epoxy resin, right?
I get the weight thing but the mat just absorbs the resin and has very little strength. I'd ditch it. Also you're adding the weight to the nose so it could have more effect than you think. A few lbs prob won't but I'd still ditch the chop.
Why are you using chop mat? i would try to stay away from that, you're going to soak up a ton of resin and add weight. I'd take steps to use as little resin as needed and squeegee it out of the glass. I would also use biax unless you are trying to build up an area, but just my suggestion.
Awww hell yea, coming together. I've got a set of white ODI Grips I won at Wavedaze, PM or text me your address and they are yours....not that there's anything wrong with green....haha.
Because we put down the camera to help you pull it in, haha. I have the pics on my other computer, I'll have to check and see if they're in there anywhere.
You will never get a feel for it until you ride it so just pick a spot. I would suggest keeping them free of the exhaust pipe since it just makes a little more work. I had WDK holds in my RN and the fronts were JUST at the exhaust. As for the front foot hold, just snag the pancake pete hold...
