As the subject may have lead you to believe, i have been toying with the idea of making my own prepregs...is this feasable? Anyone have any experience doing this? I am hoping its as simple as resining a bunch of sheets of glass or carbon, then sandwiching them between release film and sticking them in a freezer (what temp exactly?)...any specific type of resin? Also, anyone ever use a bath/roller system to wet out fabric? I am looking at a "Shop Wringer with Rinse Tub" in Harbor Freight and wondering if i can eliminate the squegee!
Thoughts, comments?

What is that for?
I suppose prepreg is used by industry that use a huge amount of material each day, so they save some time in the impregnation process.
I think even small ski/snowboard manufacturer do not use prepreg.

Few days ago I had a look at book that came out recently:

I found some skis made in the 60'/70' with a variable camber.
This was done by connecting the tip to the tail with a steel cable, that was passing through some hooks fixed along the ski. Tightening the cable, the camber decreases.
It would be possible to switch from negative to positive camber.
Who will try?
It can also be a good technique to fix skis with too much camber.
