Wet Sanding & Polishing - Surfboard Glassing [Part 7 of 7]

Спорт

Sanding and polishing the gloss coat of a retro single fin surfboard. I used the variable speed sander with 320 grit, then wet sanded by hand with 400, 600, 800 and 1,000 grit sandpaper. You could go up to 1,200 or 1,500 grits. I applied rubbing compounding and buffed it with a microfiber cloth. I then applied polishing compound and buffed it with the variable speed polisher. This process worked, but ideally I would have buffed the rubbing compound with the variable speed polisher and wool bonnet and then used a foam polishing pad (I currently didn’t have one in my shaping bay) with the variable speed polisher for the polishing compound. Surfboard dimensions are 6' x 20.5 x 2.5. I've only glassed a handful of boards and am not an expert but this glassing process works for me.

    Hi, I'm trying to learn as much as I can from your videos, I have a hole I'm repairing in my board and later I'd like to do my first shape. Are there "do's" and "don'ts" regarding painting vs tinted resin for board color(s)? Advantages or disadvantages? Thanks for taking the time to make all of your videos!!

  • @BendheimBoards

    If you paint the foam, make sure you use water based paints or acrylic paints. Resin tints look better in my opinion and give it a deeper color. Spray painting or airbrushing the foam can also look cool and is a little easier. Lots of cool 80s boards were airbrushed. Check out Mark Richards board to see lots of airbrush looks.

I see you put the rubbing compound/rub it/ than remove microfiber/than polish? Polishing seems to be tricky for me

    If you're letting it dry before removing it with the microfiber cloth or polisher, that could be your problem. Be sure not to let it dry. I use Meguiar's which you can find at auto shops. Just follow the instructions on the product and you should be good.

    Sounds like you'll need to sand the scratches out. I'd start with 80 grit sandpaper and then progressively work through higher grits until you get to 400. This will give you a sanded finish. If you want a gloss finish you'll need to start wet sanding up to 1,000 or 1,500 grit and then polish. Just be careful not to burn through to the fiberglass cloth when doing the initial sanding, otherwise you'll have to put a new coat of resin on the area. Good luck man!

    Just make sure your going through all progression of grits all the way up to 1,000 grit wet sanding or 1,500 wet sanding. Each grit removes the scratches from the previous grit. (explained better and in more detail on greenlight surf supply's instructions on their website). Have to get through all that sanding before polishing.
