Glassed on fins are so cool. Thanks for making this video!

U R an Artist!

Old-head tip for those glass on fins from a guy who's been building and repairing since the days when all boards had glass ons. When doing your patches up the sides of the fins, orient your cloth on a 45 degree angle to the base of the fins rather than at 90 degrees the way you did. Your fins will be less likely to crack at the base that way. I'd probably do a thicker piece of fin rope as well. Great build video. Cheers.

Mostly because of the channels. I didn’t want to mud the yellow and green together too much. It wasn’t entirely necessary but 🤘

Awesome! Thanks for doing these! With the resin for the lamination, did you also make a clear resin batch and add that after the green swirls? Or was the resin from the green swirls enough to do the lamination? Also, which brand of acrylic sealer do you use and do you use gloss, satin or matte? Thanks for your time!!

You are talented.

Thanks mate 🤙 I glass the fins first with 6oz and then when I glass to the board I use the rovings and 6oz to the tip and then 6oz just half way up.

Resin and tint. It’s probably won’t work that well with eps/epoxy. And you’d need to sand the entire board to get the resin to bond. That would leave patchy colour. I’d probably do a spray if you were looking for colour on the foam 🤙
