Great job, I learned alot. Thanks for clarifying that your mix was qcell and resin. At first it looked like automotive bondo and I was like "what the....". I also liked the butterfly patches. No graphics or paint to cover the repair?
Can i ask ,is there a reason why you wouldn't put dowels in to join the two together,itll be a tad heavier, but the joint would be stronger ,in my opinion
You are correct. But I believe all the strength is is the rails of a surfboard therefore I don’t like to put dowels in. You make a breaking point at either end of the dowel. This will be due to the dowel being to stiff and not flexing. I’ve seen it a million times. Hope this helps
Привет! Была классная разборная доска, а вы её испотрили ,сделали целой!... Теперь она опять не поместится в чемодан. Доски надо делать из двух половин и с тонкими связями чтоб волна их разрушала. Связи легко менялись прямо на берегу.
Of course. I believe it’s unnecessary and creates a breaking point due to stiffness. But that’s just my opinion. I have fixed boards with wooden stringers added and they have been fine. 👍🏻
As someone who repairs boards would you say at a certain point repairing a board is silly? Have you ever looked at a repair and said this isn’t worth the time and effort or would be so expensive that it was almost nearing the cost of a new board? Some part of me feels like unless a board has some extreme level of sentimental value, if it’s completely snapped in half it’s probably time for a new board.
Absolutely. We get this problem all day Long. Surfboards are just not built as good as they once were and they break way to often now. A lot of people collect ding last and end up with say 10 dings. The time and effort to repair is just not worth it. I’m happy to do it of course but we need to be paid and our shop has to make money so then it comes down to customers choice. It is a tricky one at times. Some surfers still think a ding repair will be $20. It simply just cannot be that price due to cost of materials overheads insurance etc. it’s a battle everyday but we do find a balance.
Good, but a few points, not once did i see you check the rocker as this can be a big difference of a board going good or not again, like no bumps. i guess you using only one patch top and bottom makes it pretty flat but i wondering how strong it would be? Why don't you use the diamond patch do you think this inverted diamond style it saves weight and still strong? Also i don't get how you can apply so much sanding resin top and bottom and avoid drips and runs on underside? Thanks
I checked rocker for maybe 15 minutes while qcell is going off. I didn’t want to show this in the video because it is very bring to watch. This is my personal board, yes I only used one patch. For a customers board I would use two unless otherwise requested. This is an experiment for me. I like this butterfly style patch. I don’t think it would matter much I just prefer this method. While filler coating keep flipping the board until resin kicks off. Use your brush to constantly clean the edges and rails. Time it perfectly so you don’t fuck this finish coat. Hope this helps.
I've done a couple snap repairs on personal boards successfully but learned alot watching you. Excellent work, great POV!
Thanks! It’s the POV that really helps.
that rail folding technique to wet it out is genius
A lot less mess. Almost guarantees a good saturation too.
@@coulsonssurf do you do that when glassing a full board ? Great video btw
So confident on the tools!! I definitely need more time!! ☺️😊
Practice makes perfect. You will get there.
I’ve been at this for 15 years now and still learning new tricks.
How many rides did they get before it snapped again?

It's much easier to get a perfect lineup without dowels.
@@coulsonssurf it’s really interesting and important opinion. I hope your experience is right and we take it for us.
what is the last coat that you spray with the spray gun???
What is that little sander at 14:58
Thank you
Orbital sander. Makita.
Take off less materials and leave a nicer finish to wet rub.
Clean repair! No wooden sticks, right?
None just qcell and glass
@coulsonssurf Yes I think wooden sticks are not necessary.
Beauty, well done!
Thank you! Cheers!

Nice one. Great idea.
Would there ever be a use to put some wooden stringers in as well?
Of course. I believe it’s unnecessary and creates a breaking point due to stiffness. But that’s just my opinion.
I have fixed boards with wooden stringers added and they have been fine. 👍🏻
@@coulsonssurf Thank you for the education.

@ thanks for that insightful answer. Also, thank you for what you do and keeping us surfers afloat. Much appreciated.
Good job
Thanks!
👍Excellent job, Bro! I wish good luck to you! What did you spray with spray gun, resin or lacquer?
Thank you 🙏
It’s clear coat.
Thanks a lot! But, sorry, It’s not clear to me, what does the coating consist of? Polyester, epoxy resin, or (varnish/ lacquer)
I guess that’s an epoxy compound
@@surfvisionary
Normal PU resin and qcell
No dowels?

Boring *
No fiber glass on de bottom?
Always fibreglass on the top and bottom of a snap repair.
That board has got to be heavier now .
Slightly for sure. I doubt my surfing ability would notice.
