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!

Thanks man 🤘 Yeh the taped up tail patch trick is good if you want a different colour patch to the clear board.

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.
@Shrednaught2 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” 🤘

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

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.
@Shrednaught2 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 🤙

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.

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?
@Shrednaught2 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 🤙

@Shrednaught Жыл бұрын
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 🤙

@Shrednaught2 жыл бұрын
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

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?
@Shrednaught2 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. 🤣

@Shrednaught2 жыл бұрын
Yup eps foam. I don’t fill my eps before lamination. I use a high density foam and try get it as clean as possible. When glassing I always glass on falling temps and baby sit the board in case of any off gassing. 9 times outta 10 it’s all good.

Am I right in saying that you used 450 ml of resin for your fill coat each side (900 ml in total)? Seems like quite a bit to me.

how are you placing the logo? material that you printed on and how are you centering? it seems like you just place it, which is impressive.

Should have also said great videos thank you for making them.

The material is a special rice paper from a print shop. You can use normal rice paper but it’s just slightly thicker. I have a couple of small letters I centre off and although there isn’t a stringer there is a glue line I used to get it straight on board.

I need advice installing a bow eye in a epoxy foam raven paddle board. I plan to pull it behind a electric recumbent bicycle , with a yeti cooler and some ice and drinks on top while towing, I plan to have two bicycle wheels at the back. I have 4 tie points up front but need a tie point at the very front and it has to be strong. My plan is to either drill a horizontal hole large enough to glue a piece of carbon fiber tube with like a 6" set back from the tip from side to side of the board or drill a long hole at the bow to glue in a stainless eye bolt. Can someone please give me some suggestions please. Thanks

Hi. Please tell me, by what means do you cover the board at the very end? Is it varnish?
@Shrednaught Жыл бұрын
Yeh mate, it’s a clear acrylic sealer. Just roll it on and give it a light sand with high grit and it’s good to go
@joeblow1942 Жыл бұрын
20:41. 1) Is that just epoxy you’re rolling on as the sealer coat? 2) What kind of roller pad are you using?

hey man, after using all of these paths , and layers of 6 onz , how goes the weight ? just to know cuz im using only one layer 6 onz. nice video keep going!
@Shrednaught2 жыл бұрын
Thanks man. The overall weight is about same as a standard poly of same size. I live and surf in Margaret river and the swell and conditions are usually large and raw, so a super light eps board would only work in the cleaner days here. The additional weight is actually a huge help with keeping the rail engaged. Where abouts are you located/surfing?

@@Shrednaught thanks for answer, maybe thats is the key, the eps, i was thinking about the poly , cuz on my last board i used 6+4/4 onz, and it feels a little heavy (6'3" fish +-42liters), im on canary islands(spain close to africa )
@Shrednaught2 жыл бұрын
@@wesklol yeh poly does have a slight bit more weight than stringerless eps. You could try a 4/4 lay up on the deck. But this will reduce durability slightly

Interesting technique with the sealer coat! Are you using the same resin as the one used for the hotcoat? EDIT: My bad you answer that question below already. Please do a video about it soon ;-)

It’s a concrete sealer. If you’re in Australia I’ll give ya the brand. If not you might need to find something similar located in your neck of the woods.
@thefoildesigner2 жыл бұрын
@@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?
@Shrednaught2 жыл бұрын
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.

Over all how long did this take?
@Shrednaught2 жыл бұрын
Hard question to answer as there is a lot of time between resin curing. I’ll say a week start to finish. But not concentrating 100% on this board
