I'm also going to add this snippet of information which I missed. Being a fish, it's likely that the owner of this board will run keel fins. Because of the huge surface area of keel fins, they break fcs1 fin plugs very easily due to the amount of pressure exerted from fin to plug. I would usually reccomend not using a plug system with keels but our man at rogue waves didn't have much of a choice in this case. To mitigate this risk, foam quality and density is important. Soft EPS combined with plugs and keel fins is likely not going to be a long lasting solution, especially as the plugs are not tied to the deck with a H pattern. Personally, I would have gone with a 64kg two-part PU foam to try and get around this un ideal fin system.

Hey just one question, I come from woodworking and I thought about the fear of ripping through the side of the board when roughting, and wouldn't it be easy to create roughting template and like glue it on the board with tape or so and then you have a nice and save place to work on without the fear of the tool gripping. Ah and secondly, I always wondered why my channel islands board has a mark of the fcs boxes on the deck... I thought someone just repaired something there, but now I know why I can see the marks, thanks👍🏼

@@seangerst6561 100% he could use a jig to do this. The future jig is a pretty standard rectangle with four sliding bars (2 at each end and two on each side) so he could of routed out his initial hole with something like that. For the plug hole route, they are usually done with a specific FCS hole saw. Glad I could explain those little markings! Cheers for watching!

Great vid and appreciate the repair sequencing

hey man, very informational video and good vibes. I've been shaping and repairing boards for a while now but i had one thing i couldn't figure out. I have a delaminated board with some of the foam being bad on the surface layer. I dont want to use only micro balloons due to weight and the stifness. But i dont see a fairly easy option to fill the thin uneven layer of foam before glassing. Any tips mate? really good vids btw keep it up

Heya Daan! You must be a handsome fellas with a name like that! Cheers man, appreciate it! Can definitely help with the delam issue. So after removing all the necessary glass and exposing your rubbish foam, give its a rough sand just to clean any dirt, grime, sand and crud from your foam. You can even score it a little with a knife. I'd then fill the area with a 2 part expanding pu foam, at least a 56kg foam. Once that's had 24hrs to kick, sand it as close to shape as possible. Depending on your result, you might be able to lam straight away but if you have pinholes or over sand a bit so it's low, then you can give a thin skim of qcell to fill those pin holes and level things off a bit better. Remember, you can always do more than 1 foam pour if required (ie. Pinholes are really big due to the depth of the pour). I have a video called "HOW A PROFESSIONAL REALLY FIXES YOUR BOARD: Epoxy surf club knee board". Thumbnail is a before and after of a green clubby boards tail. It was pretty significantly delamned so might help put visuals to my text.

Quick question about painting, you say to not use water base paints, im guessing thats more so for painting over the fiberglass? What about the foam itself prior to fiberglassing, ive always been told acryllic should only be used, whats your opinion?

@smallkinedings

Boom, 3 minite response! Yea, under the glass is another story. Especially with epoxy, you want it to be water-based if trying to paint beneath epoxy. Above glass though it can be a bit of a risk even with a clear over top

Hey mate love the videos! Have you found the full face mask is a big difference compared to the standard half face version? Is it worth the money?

@smallkinedings

Жыл бұрын

Thanks man, appreciate it! Yea, the double seal that the full face gives me is far superior to the single and often inconsistent seal a half face mask can provide. At least when it comes to fumes. Also knowing my eyes aren't absorbing those fumes give me a little peace of mind. They are pricey but in my experience you'll get at least a good 5 years use from then so a very worthy investment in my opinion if you're dealing with resins everyday for hours on end

I also would of made a Jig for the Router to keep it clean I personally use Butyl tape to keep the Jig still whilst Routering

Congrats for the video, as usual. I had already watched his video. I really like RWSR. He has good dexterity, even though he is not yet at your level of professionalism. He is not that experienced wit epoxy/EPS, as he admitted, and to be honest this was probably not his best work. But he posted really nice vids on his channel, with some extreme repairs. We, your disciples, should not be too harsh on him. I definitely learned something also from him 😅

That drying between coats. I tried it and honestly I don't think its a good idea. You land up with a cured layer of paint over softer paint, which can crack or chip. It didn't in this case which is fine but I swear its almost always worth letting anything naturally cure. By the way I got some of the Molotov sprays and clear... what a difference. Such good products. EDIT: just saw that cracking pin line. Spoke to soon.

You're bang on, especially with water based, you need to allow all that water to evaporate and escape. In the panel shop we would use infrared heaters that penetrate the paint and heat up the metal or plastic of the car panel. That way you're drying from the first layer of paint to your last. We cooked a chicken with it once, it turned to jelly 😂
