Thanks, and yes - today they are 10 times better 😎

Looks great, I'd love a board just like that. If you don't mind, a few of points: I noticed a slight 'flouring' of the epoxy on the finish coat, so if you can get it, use a crystal epoxy hardener like the West 207 hardener in conjunction with their 105 resin, this gives a very clear finish. There were also issues with the edges of the peel-ply. A borrowed second set of hands might be the solution to get it to lay perfectly flat in one go. And finally, working with epoxy, especially over time will damage your health unless you use really good protection. I'm not sure if that mask you use is good enough. Look into a 3M 6503QL mask with A2 Organic vapor filters as well as P3 particulate filters over them. That should keep you going for longer :) Edit: I see in your most recent video you have one of those masks up on the wall ;)

Thanks for sharing 🙌🏾 Can you tell what's the correct pressure for the vacuum? I'm about to do my first vacuum board in brazil but it's so hard to find the materials, bags, that fabric that absorb the excess of resin etc. Could you make a video explaining it? 😁

100% I have planned one but more important- i will do a new full carbon with NO vacuum to see if the difference is big, will be interesting 🤙🏼

how did you deal with any wrinkling of the carbon on the rail, due to the vacbag bunching up? i am building 3 at the same time now, and all three have some of this wrinkling. it makes the hotcoat and sanding on the rail very hard.

@kobymaymonsurfboards7320

2 жыл бұрын

I was working them with my hands when it wrapped the rails, also when laying the breather cloth I invested more time in it. My vacuum wasn’t so strong so maybe this is why 🤙🏼

Great work! Could you tell me your sanding process after the hot coat ? Something like 80- 120 then wet with 240 400 800? Thanks

@kobymaymonsurfboards7320

Жыл бұрын

Yes, but - 240 is NOT wet, 400 wet and it is not a must! Because i use the matte clean spray so there is no point going all the way to 800 or 1200. If you are going to do a gloss coat and no spray but natural shine then yes, all the way to 1500 wet 🙌🏽🏄🏻‍♂️

I would love to see you surf it and tell us how it feels.

What did you spray on it? Why is there a Blue haze? Is The carbon just enhancing the Blue dye in the resin?

@kobymaymonsurfboards7320

3 жыл бұрын

This spray is matt clear coat, the blue haze is due to the carbon and epoxy under the lights, this is because i use a very good epoxy with UV (resin research).

Very nice. Carbon fibre is not easy to work with but you nailed it. The spray at the end is smart especially on epoxy as it's very difficult to polish - do you find that it is a durable layer (acrylic spray?) or it chips off easily?

Do you add anything to epoxy resin when doing hot coat to improve sandability/finish (as you would wax styrene with polyester resins?)

איך אתה משייף את הגלשן כך שהוא לא מאבד יותר מידיי קונטורות של הבלאנק? לדוגמה צ'אנלים או קונקביים עדינים. כשאני מתקן גלשנים זה ממש קשה לשמור על צורת הרייל או לשמול על קונקייב V

נתחיל בזה שהבלנק צריך להיות איכותי ובצפיפות הנכונה - ואז זה דורש שימוש ברשת שיוף מתאימה ובלחץ הנכון - אני לא חושב שאפשר להסביר כאן אבל ניתן לראות בסרטונים שלי כיצד אני עובד על הבלנק. מעבר להכל - מיומנות - בניתי כבר המון גלשנים ועם כל אחד זה הופך להיות קל יותר ומדויק ויתר... צריך לשייף כמה שיותר! :)

Wow. A lot of work for carbon fibre. And you can see every bit of imperfection in the end finish. Good for first time, but may take you a few iterations to get a complete perfect finish with smooth color finish. It it really worth it after you take into consideration the effort and additional cost of materials? How much weight are you saving? How much more in materials? And the most important, how does it ride compared with same board in normal glass + epoxy? Great video.
