Better to use Polyester Resin or Epoxy Resin depending on the foam material. Polyurethane can take both resins, EPS foam only Epoxy. Should have used Q Cell, or at least Silica. Also could have added a piece of foam to have perfect buoyancy. But I guess this video is for those already mixed kit like Zolarez as depicted.
Basically you sanded off the new fiberglass layers since you created a lump of brand new glass on the deck surface level... sanding a bit more is needed to create a small gap/dent where the resin and fiberglass will sit without creating a lump on the original surface (that lump is the new material you just applied and sanded off) 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
You can do it without the fiberglass too, it just adds more strength and is recommended for bigger dings. Solarez has an Instagram with videos on how to use it.
So you just use resin? Not a resin and hardener mix? And I just finished with my board and there is just a micro little spot I think I over sanded. Any thoughts on what to do? Can I just add some resin or do I need to add fiberglass cloth too and then resand. Also what is the best type of paint to use to paint entire boards?
I start off slightly rough, yet stroking it lightly, to get the big bumps taken care of. Don’t push too hard. Then, you want to go smooth for the finish. Always nice to finish ‘er off with a bit of gloss. 👻
@@WhiteGhost21 the sun hardens it and then its done curing. like anything the sun will eventually damage it if you just leave it forever in the sun but with proper care surfboard repairs last forever with solarez
I just bought a shitty longboard for cheap, i really dont care for aesthetics i just want it to be water tight until i can afford a better one, i will defenitely do this.
You don't unless you want to cut out the area as if it were a ding. Pressure dings are badges of honor (battle wounds). Don't repair them unless they're super deep or cracked
For those who are perfectionists, you can add color after the first resin layer before fiberglass and second layer
What substance to use for coloring? Any paint or food coloring?
@@vladimirdobrov170 resin pigment. Fiberglass Hawaii, Shapers Australia, Fiberglass Florida
I never thought it would be that simple
It’s slop af but it’s all about getting it done then, “Jobs a good ‘un!
@Victor Colton lol when two bots on the internet start talking to each other
I never cut a "plug" out of a board! Grind and glass then sand again. Strong as original
Yeah and he took out a chunk of foam when he cut it out which was my main gripe. Woulda filled that with some qcell first
Could I just use epoxy no fiber flasssheet?

what grit o the sanding paper?
I use around 320 for the actual resin then soft sponge a lot of it
You make it look so easy.
Can you just fill it with solarez and that’s it?
Right like can you skip the fiberglass part?
@@romanmorzella6099 well I just put solarez in my ding and it works fine
How do you add white color to it so you can't see the hole? Thanks!
You need to use gloves and a mask when sanding glass. It will get in your skin and cause irritation for the rest of the day.
Breathing it really dangerous as well
is epoxy good for bum waxing too?
How about the bottom part of the wavestorm. Because I don’t think it’s fiberglass.
Is it a plactic bottom...if so find plastic bonding epoxy and just fill it with it level it with tape it should cure hard and flat
use SPONGEREZ or a hot glue gun
Is the fiberglass necessary or is the solarez enough?
enough to solarez alone if you just want it to be watertight
what happens if u dont use the glass

The tube of ding repair has fiber glass in it ...dont need the extra piece at all

He used solarez which reacts with UV radiation to harden
Great stuff. Where can I buy a kit to fix a few dings? ONLINE. Thanks
Just look it up on Google theirs actually quite a lot of resorce
Does the epoxy work even on poly boards??
Use the yellow tube of polyester resin repair ...dont mix
I use epoxy to fix all types of resins. Have for 40 years now. It actually makes a weak poly board stronger
Where do I buy that
at the movie theater or a pizza parlor 😁
In the first batch of resin, mixe it with microbaloons 50% and then it will look like the original foam.
Where to get fiber glass
Does ding tape work?
duck tape is better
Thanks bro 🤙
perfect. thanks!
What grit sandpaper do I use?
Sand Paper (Fine 120-180 grit) s small sheets
@@waterstridersup4368 that's gonna take FOREVER especially with solar res. Id use 40 grit but it's your choice
Mark Smith or use one after the other

Is it the same process if I have a whole corner missing on the tail?
No
Where do you get fibre glass?
search out your local shaper and see if he'll bro deal you a piece. Worked for me.
Can you do it without fiberglass?
Yes but is sometimes cracks without hitting it

@@WahooInternationalInc the sun will harden it over time until it cracks

That is what I would call; ”The weakest Link”. Broken boards usually start at the the Rail.
What do you mean the weakest link
The weakest point in the board / most likely to break there first
Music?
yes!

Hi, how to repair a pressure ding?
You don't unless you want to cut out the area as if it were a ding. Pressure dings are badges of honor (battle wounds). Don't repair them unless they're super deep or cracked
with anti depressants 🤡🤡🤡
By driving to your local repair shop and paying 50$ so they can do a better job then this and color match it
Great, so I don't have to buy a gallon of epoxy resin😊
Hi im 15 and i also repaired a ding on my surfboard!
Ps i have a video on my channel!
Simple
microball??
Rookie repair. Subscribe and return to see how he does this type of repair in a couple of years.
That solarez has fibres already in it for strength on that size ding, didn't need glass which he sanded off anyways, fail!!
Never ever do this. Your ‘fix’ will get wrecked with any pressure to that area.
