Any alt-formulation bases for us to try *expectant blink*
Sure, epoxy or polyurethane or hybrid resins and coatings loaded up with lots of Inhance UH1250 and TiC9000 or 9100 particles. The goal is to find a resin system that has high enough elongation for the ski to flex and that will stick well to the ski. Here are some good sources. Let me know what you think. If you market this I expect royalties as this is a new invention.

These guys make a great coating that bonds really well.

Add 40% UH1250 and 5% TiC9100 by volume to the coating and trowel it onto a piece of sailcloth and cure. Cut it out for a base and give it a rip. Wax will stick to it because the particles are polar, really really polar.
This should work well too.
