Make sure you use epoxy not VE or POLY as the skis are made from epoxy.

im abot to do mine and came across how to do it on ajsp.go to superjet/surf then to turf and foot holes then down the bottom there is a link to doing it with pxts and shit.

mint cheers guys going to install them tonight ,will take pics to show how it goes

any1 no where you buy that liquid foam from to go behind the foot holes?? and wot do use recon abot cuting up the floor and getn the wet fucked foam out from under that.it has water in it and the floor is a bit uneven.

Im just in the process of finishing my re foaming job and its lots of work.
My tray was crack so i cut that out and then de foamed it. Making a carbon tray that is wider, lighter and stronger.
Theres a bit of work in doing it.

i have just finished my defoam job ,repaired tray and installed footholds ,only took a couple of hours to remove foam but does take a while to let each stage of epoxy,glue,fibreglass dry,u can by the 2 part foam mix from a place called nuplex ,not sure if it was worth it will find out once is back on the water.

I want to de-foam my ski aswell to reinforce the bond line and insides and the front of the pump where the intake grate bolts on. Nice and heavy and strong!

Just make a carbon ski

Just spent all day glassing the inside of my ski! fark so high on epoxy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope the thing still floats! won't break now!

sounds good tim. Just put a couple of layers of carbon in my tray. Cant wait 2 ride it.

any idear wher this nuplexs place is im in need of mat and resin and the 2pot glue to put the foot holes in to if u no where to get this shit at a good price.i mite just cut the floor up defoam put the floor back in and hole saw sum holes in to refoam under the floor.just 1dering is it common for them to leek at all between where the top and bottom of ski is glued togetter??if so wot do u do to stop it??

Yeah bro Im sick of drinking all weekend!

I got sum foam form neplux and sum from another place, the neplux foam was not as hard as the other foam but way cheaper. Neplex is in henderson, the 1 in penrose dont have an of the shit you need.

Cutting the tray out nicely and using it 2 re foam is a really good idea 2

i just cut the tray ,got a drill with a wire brush on it ,got all the foam out ,epoxyed the pipes then filled tray back up with the foam then place tray back down and epoxyed around where i cut it then layer of fibreglass around the join ,then just did footholds ,
i found the seal around the 2 halfs was pritty good have heard its luck of the draw if it good seal or not .ill try upload some photos of the job i done

sounds good abot thoz pxts
