I've been fixing boards since 1983. A couple steps could have been combined if you were in a time crunch like setting the box and reinforcing it with the fiberglass. Your repair job was really good! Props on the great video editing too. 🤙
I just crunched my finbox on the bar this morning 🤦♂️this video gives me peace of mind. Side note everytime I buy a brand new board from this one surfshop in particular I always end up damaging it in such a way that I need to take it to a pro and its always in the first couple months of owning it lol its never happened to my machine shaped boards only the ones I really care about.
@@Rogue_wave ha ha, we did, disaster ensued, the board then went to the local shaper, they on sold the re repair, board got lost for over a month and then appeared good as new today. lol!
To each his own but I'm curious why you didn't sand down the surrounding area after you pulled the box out.That way once the box is set you can glass it the same as you do on a fresh blank. That way there is more structural strength and you have two layers of glass and your hot level with the top of the box. That way the layer of gls and HT coat aren't higher than the box 14:49 . I could be wrong but I just can't see how your way is strong enough. Job looks great and good job on the video.🤙🏼
@@Rogue_wave awesome job, if you don’t mind , could you tell me what products you used to fit the box in, I have to repair a fin like this and cannot find what product to use , I know resin will eat the foam core . Thanks!
Pretty Good with out all the Pro Tools available. You actually could have done you glass and Grind at the same time, then hot coat. Like if you were setting the fins when you shaped the board. But still pretty crafty work. 😀
Man, I still don't know how you leveled up the fin box to the perfect height/orientation. Feel like that's the hardest part and probably what I'd mess up
Thanks dude. Just use a cheap protractor to make sure the angle is right, and then set the box to where it sticks up about 1/8-1/4 of an inch. Gotta leave something to grind down.
Great video man! quick question, How do you fix a future fin box that the hole is stripped? It gets traction when you start screwing in but almost at the end it keeps spinning and it never gets to the point where it secures the fin. thank you !!
Hi Su! have you tried using a new fin key? Older keys can get worn down from use, and then they don't fit snugly in the screw. For example, I just threw a fin key away yestreday because after a lot of use, it was starting to "strip" the fin screws, which sounds like the problem you're having. Hope this helps!
when you did the fiberglass cloth patch, did you glass it with lam resin or sanding? I noticed your sander was gunking up. Also I thought you cant sand down laminating resin?
Hi, what is the product you use to fill in the board before you put the fin box back in and where can I get it? I have done this repair before but had to use pieces of foam to support the fin box after the initial removal.
Oh man I feel like I just smoked a j after watching this whole video. So transfixed. Thank you for the great editing and the high attention to detail. Question: do you need to replace the whole fin box if the surrounding glass got cracked and is protruding?
Thank you! That's the vibe im going for. In response to your question: cracks aren't always indicative of needing to do a full replacement, but protruding fiberglass, or the box protruding through the fiberglass always is. Send me an emnail with a photo if you want more help! Dave@roguewaverepairs.com
Thanks dude! I appreciate the sub. Got a great new vid coming out soon. My tent is from Amazon, its supposed to be a greenhouse for gardening. about $100 bucks. Got the idea from Bendheim Boards (check out his channel if you haven't yet) Just look up "greenhouse" on amazon
It is a good fix... But filling in the futures flange with laminating resin only.. is not the correct install method. Should have used glass fibre then to connect the fin plug back to existing bottom glass.. Would have also saved another step of glassing over top and trimming out.. at gel stage as in video.. Other than that it's bang on great craftsmanship..

Thanks Jerome! I’ve since refined my process to save a bit of time ;)
If you set it and glass it at the same time how are you going to measure the 6.5 degree can't. Or whatever the other fin is set at.
Inmaculate!!! The attention to detail its off charts!
Searched for Foil box repair and stumbled across this epic content I was mesmerised watching the whole process, the edit was awesome as well.
Ha, thanks Dan!

Apart from the quality of work done, the quality of the presentation, shots lighting detail organization is supreme.
Thank you for saying so!
got me so amped on ding repair
Best one yet. Loved it when you cracked the 0.0. I could use some written captions or commentary to add some context. Great repair.
Good idea!
This video is art. And you sir, are a legend.
Thanks Martin 🤙🏻
Nice job and excellent editing. Thank you.🤙🏼
The hammer with the blade skills are very Rad !!
Great job!
I have to repair the damages of the fins attachment on the SUP. You gave me a great experience.
We purchased a board with a tail fin issue pretty much like this . Very helpful
Damn you got every repairing gadget, very relaxing to watch
Ha, even more now! Thanks bro!

Best video ever dude!
Great job! Looking forward to watching more of your work.
Thanks so much! Another one on the way.
Very satisfying you've almost convinced me not to have a go
Thanks Fletch! I say go for it...

@@TheFletchandSebShow Ha! Glad you got your board back!
Masterfully done! Thank you for the content!!

Thank you! This is a good time saver I hadn't thought of before.
Thanks for the helpful video. What resin are you mixing with the q cell?
You’re welcome! Laminating resin.
Hey, how do you reuse those brushes you use? Or bin them?
How much would you charge for a repair like this?

I think the issue is not the screw itself but the whole.

I sand my laminations because it makes the hot coat come out much better. It does gum up your sandpaper though.

Awesome man, nice contribution. Is the coat at 12:00 a hot coat? Have a similar repair to complete, appreciate the help.
Thank you! Yes it is.
You measured the left fin twice at the end
Your workshop is epic. Awesome videos! I’m definitely subscribing. Where did you get the tent you are using?

Heineken 0.0. My brand.
I call them "stay out of trouble beers"
Two layers of cloth better then 1
great marketing video.
every single board i own gets a sunken fin box under my heel thanks!
Dude same
The only thing that i would do different; would be to open a regular Heineken. The youth these days!
