Re-glue skins was created by Edgesport
I have stripped all the glue off the skins with a heat-gun and a puddy-knife. The BD Gold Seal glue is so thick I can't spread without it rolling and balling. I am going to buy more glue tomorrow and warm it before trying to spread it. Fresh snow is accumulating.... Any suggestions or best practices would be REALLY REALLY appreciated.

Warming the glue is key. It makes it possible to make nice thin coats of glue. I usually put the glue tube in a vessel of quite warm water. It'll be obvious when the viscosity decreases.
Ventilate well; the solvent is good for the glue, but no-bueno for you.

BD Gold is meant for patching. They make full length iron on glue strips.
I think www.straightchuter.com has a tutorial. I'd recommend watching it because i did mine and had a few spots where i messed up the glue when i pulled the laminate off.

Do the transfer strips stick to ski bases as well as the naptha-laden Gold Label? I've been less impressed with the glue on recent BD skins than with my older Gold-Label re-glued skins.
