in a lot of respects, it makes me sad-so much time has gone by. I used to build boards back in 1964-1966, in northern California. Seems like a distant dream now. We sure had fun, surfing, hanging out at the beach. Then I joined the Navy, and went away to war. When i got back, the entire world had changed so much it was unrecognizable. But I still catch the occasional wave, on a bodyboard, since I can't bend well anymore (at 75). Keep the faith young ones, keep the traditions strong!

Not a shaper, but have built quite a few glass boats. Might want to consider adding a thickener when using resin as a glue. Doesn’t have much mechanical strength as resin, but adding cabosil or milled cotton or any adjunct gives it crazy strength properties.

@Shrednaught

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the advice mate. Boats are such a pain to glass. My only concern with this idea is that surfboards need to keep their flex and although impact strength can be a good thing, too much stiffness kills a board. Weight also comes into the equation. Most surfers these days like their boards lighter. For these problems we’re using surfboard specific resins and fibreglass designed to keep the weight down , flex optimal and help the board maintain its “whiteness” 🤘

This is great. What do you use for a sealer coat?

That's a great design. I'd love to do it being surfed. Been shaping my boards for 4 yrs now. I'm about to do a high performance board (frk fire wire look alike) for 5-8ft + Supers jbay waves. This was very motivational. Tks

I really enjoy these videos, they really show the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into a custom surfboard. I am guessing that the EPS blank that the board is made from is a generic bought in piece? If as you shape the EPS core of the board you found a void or air bubble in the core would that make it unusable or is the strength coming from the fiberglass and resin?

@Shrednaught

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate. These eps foam blanks are a super high density and as of yet I haven’t had one that has had a void. Having said that, voids or small bubbles are not rare in poly blanks and they don’t detract from the strength of the board. If they were large enough to not fill then they would be sent back to the supplier. The strength in the boards comes from the glass and resin 🤙

The reason I do a post lam instal with the futures boxes is because it is a tint on the bottom. Sometimes if you do it pre lam you can’t see and air bubbles around the fin boxes and when you sand them open they open up and look ugly. If it was a clear board I would install pre lam and under glass like normal

After the epoxy lamination, do I need to scuff it for better mechanical bonding with the hot coat? Great job!!!

@Shrednaught

Жыл бұрын

It depends on how long you leave it. If you get to do the hot coat basically as soon as it’s hard enough to flip ~12hrs then most cases no. Just proceed as normal. If you had to leave the epoxy for a while and came back to it say after a week or two then I’d give it a light scuff. This is using surfboard specific epoxy resin.

That board looks sick! I really like the free lap look!!! I've been wondering about an EPS blank but thought stringerless would need more laminanations? I also thought they needed vents? Is that only as they get bigger? I'd read so much about how much more hassle EPS is than PU I'd talked myself out of it, but from your tutorial it doesn't look too bad to sand?

@Shrednaught

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I do my stringerless eps with 6+6/6 glass so they’re really strong. The benefit is it also adds some weight to reduce the chatter that light eps boards can get. I’ve never used a vent but I don’t leave them in a hot car. Not too sure about air travel. Eps can be more of a challenge to get a clean finish on the foam as the beads are large compared to traditional PU. But it’s not in any way bad, it’s just different. As far as sanding, if you find the right epoxy it’s as easy as poly. I just start with 80grit on epoxy. Both epoxy and poly have their pros and cons .. I could almost write a book. 🤣

Generally a pre or post lam install is mostly because of tint. When you do a dark resin tint you can’t see the air around the boxes and then if you leave bubbles and sand them open your nice tint looks a bit ragged around the boxes where the air bubbles opened up. If it’s clear then doing it straight into the foam is the way to go

@Shrednaught

Yeh mate I’m using keyline epoxy. And honestly it’s one of the best epoxies I’ve used. The blotchy look I think you’re talking about comes from the eps beads. Resin tint with eps is a hard one to achieve consistency. I don’t seal my boards as it doesn’t worry me but if I wanted a super consistent colour I’d probably seal the eps blank and do a spray before laminate 🤙

Bro! So sick. Keep up the hard work! Just wondering when youre sanding with the Mirka, which is a sweet sander btw, is it RPM adjustable? I use a sander/buffer and the sandpaper discs say to not go over 2800rpm.....I'm only doing poly currently and PU foam. I noticed in another comment you said EPS can be sanded straight up....is that because of the epoxy resin or the EPS foam? And is epoxy resin more sandable than polyester resin? SOrry for all the questions....continual learning approach for me.

@Shrednaught

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks man. Yeh the mirka is adjustable rpm. You’ll see me sanding rail with it and that’s because I drop it down to hardly any spin. Epoxy resin is sandable once cured. Poly resin is sandable after the fill coat with wax otherwise it stays tacky to allow for the next layer to chemically bond. If epoxy is fully cured it needs to be roughed to get a mechanical bond. Poly is generally easier to sand after the fill coat but epoxy is sandable without a fill coat so it’s kinda different Hope that helps 🤙

@@Shrednaught thanks! I did a quick search and concrete sealer indeed came up as an option. Do you use this to primarily protect Posca and paint jobs or as secondary hot coat no matter the finish? Also how is the bond with epoxy?

I use it to protect posca and give the board a nicer overall finish. It hides minor scratches etc: The board will still need to be final sanded proper and completely sealed as this doesn’t seal pinholes. The bond with epoxy is fine. Works with poly as well. It’s just a different form of acrylic. Always do a test before committing to a full board.

You could try the fcs website mate. I have never seen them for sale without the fin boxes though.

Around 2012 was my first one. But I haven’t been shaping non stop since. It’s more of a passion hobby 🤙

so some boards have epoxy foam and epoxy resin, and some have PU foam and resin?.

@@Shrednaught cool, what if you use PU foam and epoxy resin?

Yup that’s fine. You just can’t use poly resin with eps foam as it will melt the foam away.
