I've been shaping since 1973. The one bit of advice I would give you is that when you are shaping rails/bottom/deck, always do every cut in contemplation of the entire shape you want to finish with. I.e. Don't shape the board in sections.
I’ve been learning that makes the process a lot easier! This first board I free handed most of everything - essentially had no idea what I was doing. I still have A LOT to learn, and that is definitely very good advice. Thank you 🙏🏽
Hey, I used a putty like filler that’s used for sealing eps boards. I don’t recommend doing that! I would just use scrap foam and gorilla glue (white) for the best results. Otherwise resin and q-cell would work, but that’d would make it harder to shape (and harder to cut in fins boxes) and add more weight! Hope this is helpful!

@@paul_s-eo Keep it up! Nothing better than shaping a board to fit your style.
@powerlooper9121 thank you! 🙏🏽
Hi, What material have you used to fill the holes? Qcell?
