I did my pairs for about 2 months over the summer, and I applied heat to them via a heat gun, and the rocker still only lasted about 2-3 weeks.

if you search there was a thread from i think Lyndon with LOADS of info and a couple different set ups. I think there was follow up as well, but it seemed to me the big thing was they wouldn't hold long without heat

It greatly depends on the ski. Stiffer skis Ive found dont hold their rocker too well. I did it to a pair of moships. Also I had a pair of ARVs that started to rocker themselves, so I rockered them a bit more and those worked better.

length? Moships were 182s, and the ARVs were 185s. If by time, they each were in the rockering devices for about 2 months.
