Radar Vapor PMI core expanding?

[addkerr]

HI guys,

Iv been skiing on the 18 vapor pro build for a few weeks now. Unfortunately the honeymoon period is looking to be over. As Iv had odd performance the last couple of sets I went to check me fin for any possible movement. I noticed that the core material Im guessing the PMI has expanded out into the fin slot (was completely clear when I first set it up). I pushed a small prod into the gap and the core material did compress back down. Could this be the PMI core soaking up water and expanding out. Iv never seen this on a ski before so was just wanting some advice. Im pretty sure its not related to my skiing performance nor will it have an effect on the ski. Thats just the idiot on the end of the rope.

 

Should I keep an eye on this?

Any input would be appreciated

Hey @addkerr, PMI is a closed cell foam so it can’t absorb water, however it does seem something odd is happening to that ski. Hard to tell from those photos though. Will you shoot me an email, brooks@squareoneco.com?

No surprise @brooks is the first response.

I carry a bottle of clear nail polish in my ski bag to seal out water on whatever. This seems like it would be a good one to use it on.

@brooks is on the case already. Main reason I love radar and been a radar dealer. This company rocks on customer service.
