- Showing how I attempted to repair this surfboard (9' 6" longboard). There was some major damage to the nose, tail and rail sections of the board, along with a bunch of smaller dings and cracks, including some water damage. All areas were sanded down, filled with a epoxy filler resin mix, and fibre glassed to make the board water tight. Epoxy resin is quite different to your standard polyester resin and so no "hot coats" were needed. The only finishing step was a quick spray with lacquer.
Let me know if you have any tips on how to do a better job. If in doubt, take it to a shaper to repair it properly, this board was so cheap that the ding repairs would have cost much more than the board is worth. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Its late at night, and after watching severel videos of how to do bigger ding tepairs i couldn't be happier to find yours. Such a natural way to share and help. Actually felt way more helpful then all the other "super professionalised" geeks out there swinging with terms and details that a petson new to all this would never understand.
Thanks dude ❤
Gorgeous looking board you gave rebirth to as well, i hope you're riding that beauty today
I work with west system, but what I learned:
1. Have a separate cup with resin mix that’s used for pre “wetting” the foam
2. Have cardboard out and use that extra cup to wet the resin and lay the fiber glass and pour onto it and spread on the fiber glass till it’s invisible and then peel from there and lay onto the surface your covering.
3. during the curing process when it has set off and is Still some what soft but solid. Enough to just shave off with a blade if needed too.
You can start to sand down with Diablo sand net or Rockler Merka Abranet(best) and or rasp to shave down or cut off the excess before it cures to make the job easier.
4. 9/10 time I use Mylar or seran wrap for shaping tails, noses etc, but in a pinch use blue tape or green painters tape with less tack and overlap a bit so when sanding I don’t need a hot coat.
I enjoyed this so much mate you did a class job. I would give you my board and be confident you’d repair it well
Awesome job mate!
Came out great btw. I t never starts pretty but after some work you made that look sick bro
Hi thanks for your video 👍🏻 I am currently repairing an epoxy Webber mini fish on the nose , and after cleaning, sanding and then adding the resin with q cell, I noticed a pin hole in the resin that was leaking air bubbles. Even when dry and sanded to shape, there is still an open pin hole leaking air. I haven’t added cloth yet, so just wondering if you could offer advice? Cheers guys.
why the lacquer?? and why did you use compound before the gloss coat?
Ever used expanding foam to fill the voids and then cut/sand that down and cover with resin and fibreglass?
Ben Gravy did something like: th-cam.com/video/lsQp-Z2mKMY/w-d-xo.html I think you just have to be careful that you don't end up mixing chemistries and having one thing dissolve the other.
So....what you're saying is, filling a ding with surf wax and putting a sticker over it IS NOT the correct way to repair a ding...?
Pro tip. Use a blade handle
Is this a "Kook of the Day" video or what!?!? or "the wrong way to do ding repair"?
