Boiling skis

[tBatt]

im boiling some skis for a friend and i was just wondering how long i should keep them in the water

 

[the_hawk_of_europe]

they have to be al dente

 

[CBROOKS]

boiling skis? someone explain?

 

[the_hawk_of_europe]

doesn't matter, yesterday it rained anyway

 

[scratch_this_]

1. I think yo u boil skis to bend the tips up.

2. Yes they have to be al dente, so make sure you boil them in a roux paste with some cheese

ahha nice

yeah i need to do the same

 

[tBatt]

ok will someone give me an approximate time. and for eastcoastjibber...yes

 

[freezed]

you can get like...old madtrix or 1260s or something for pocket change...dont bother.

 

[whattheshit]

you know the skis are done when you can throw a single ski against the cupboard door and it sticks. if the ski doesn't stick then boil it a little longer.

 

[P-JO]

There are some REALLY cheap skis out there, especially on ebay. They're quality twintips too, just out of style.

 

[agree.this]

ba ahhahahahhhah

good work!

i have a buddy who make his skis twins by boiling the tail. but htat was years ago and i dont remember how long it took.

 

[spen-cer]

i shpuld try this

 

[jimmychung]

my friend used to find old massive straight skis in the dumpster behind a local ski shop. he'd use a torch to bend the tips back instead of boiling.

15-20 minutes

^ and you know how?

 

[Rajna]

wow i really wanna try this with so old school olins or something tht are 200cm's

 

[skier4line1019]

use a heat gun...its way faster only takes like 30 seconds to heat the tail enough to bend it

 

[Raek]

ive got to try this....

 

[1080chubs]

the ski starts to seperate really quickly though, so it pretty much wastes the ski...

 

[*Fujative*]

i remeber when i first came to this site, i read about it and wanted to try it.. i still have not... :-(

 

[lawless]

just take a piece of bent metal and through bolt it to the top sheet.

Then you can call it SOLUTION and be one of the innovators of the twin tip...

 

[Raek]

the bases bent too?

 

[Raek]

without cracking? someone post pics!

Always remember to season well.

Never heard of this before sounds kinda sick you could bend some crazy camber.

[Thegenericskier]

[theabortionator]

What kind of sauce do you recommend?

 

[egirl.ski]

What kind of sauce do you recommend?
