I'm embarking on a crazy adventure of making my own powder skis over the summer (I know it takes like a few hours but I'll want perfection)
I was wondering where I could find the rolls of edging material and sheets of p-tex and the topsheet (I want to use a thin layer of p-tex) Anyway I want to buy all these online if possible so if you know anywhere then please help me out!

Brilliant guys thanks so much!
I'm lucky enough to have a friend who runs a fabric company and is willing to let me use his 40 tonne press. I'm quite excited to get me a ski designed for me for so cheap!

I'm being really careful with it all, since it's a dangerous sport and they'll only be used off piste I'm planning it meticulously so I can get straight to it in the summer. It's so cheap so I don't think there's need to cut corners... They'll probably break...
