yeah i went out and bought a heat gun today and i have been heating each tip and tail on my 04 bc's for 5 minutes each like 3 times throughout today and there is still no difference, i have a ski pole in there and im moving it up each time and nothing
eventually it got the skis so hot that the topsheet started bubbling so heat wasnt an issue
so i give up

you have to really forcce them find some stairs and tie them so they are really bending and leave them there for a week, in the end you will get just a little rocker.

make it so theres more pressure, i.e. more weight in the center and slowly heat up the skis, not just rapid heat which is causing your topsheet to bubble. hold the heatgun farther away and slowly move it closer.

your going to have to bend it back so that it wouldhave 6 inches to a foot of rocker if it was actualy like that then hold it there for a week and then you will get like 1/2 an inch of rocker.
All times are Eastern (-5)
