Making resin panel surfboard fins using polyester resin and 32 layers of 6oz fiberglass cloth. I made two 9" fins and one 7.5" fin. This was my first time making fins so they didn't come out perfect and had some small air bubbles, but that's all part of the learning process. Hope it helps anyone else wanting to try it out.

Well done, I would recommend a full painters suit as well to keep the fibreglass shards off your skin; these can be very irritating for most people. I have foiled the fin before adding top coat and final wet sand.

@MarioDemaio1 Год назад

Brilliant. I have used a polished porcelain floor tile to lay up on and it works a treat. Love the colour design’s

@MrJLee483 Год назад

Yew! Congrats on leveling up your surfboard building game! 💪🏻🤙

@zachsmith3299 Год назад

The video makes me itchy Just made my first panel this spring - nice to have scrap laying around now for bonzer fins and other twin fins. Working on a dust collection vac to go under my vice and catch all the glass shavings

@BendheimBoards Год назад

The vacuum will be well worth it

@Ghostrob2023 Год назад

I like those fins, especially the color makes them stand out.

@surferdude8086 Год назад

Pro Tip: Shape the fins like a tuna. Plump in the center. ....tuna are fast. Hence your board will be fast with similar shaped fins. 🤙🌊🏄

@samboth9578 4 месяца назад

Great video! Lovely fins. When using those slotted spring pins its best to force them into the hole rather than fix them with resin, let the spring function do the work and hold them in place.

you can use a silicon cooking pad underneath in addition with whatever flat surface you use . it work just fine . reusable too.

@carlosvictorlotus8195 Год назад

How are you friend? I really enjoyed your video but if I can give you a tip, I'd advise you that next time you separate the resin plate from the glass, use an air compressor. Place the end of the hose between the glass and the resin plate and release the air. It will separate immediately. I'm saying this because same thing happened to me as it happened to you in the video (the glass broke) and it cut my hand. But I really enjoy the video, I follow your channel and I learn a lot with you!

@jim5549 Год назад

Nice! I've been wanting to give that a try too but haven't - no excuses! I wonder if laying down a layer of that thin plastic food wrap on your layup plate would work. It should sand right off but don't know how it would stand up to polyester resin. Anyway, as always very nice work! BTW when we designed parts using prepreg graphite epoxy we allowed .010" per ply. I don't recall what the weight of the fabric alone was but it seems like that factor is about right in this case too. We vacuum bagged everything so that might make some difference too. Thanks for sharing your fantastic skills!

@BendheimBoards Год назад

Thanks, yes you could use wax paper as an alternative 🤙

@thatdudecalvin Год назад

I've always been curious about what goes into making fins, thank you for sharing this! As someone who loves to surf and also build/make things, I'd love to try this out myself 🙂 Do you have any advice for someone trying to make their first fin?

@dmac5678 Год назад

would a final hotcoat eliminate the sanding voids? The finished product looks like on the fin sides there are white marks from sanding

@BendheimBoards Год назад

That’s from air bubbles I didn’t get out during the layup. You could add a hotcoat but not necessary

@simonebelli9399 11 месяцев назад

awesome!! i want to try, but i didn't get if you laid down all at once, or you did like sets of 4 sheets each time, waiting for them to dry and lay down the next 4 sheets until 32.

@MrRickyrecon Год назад

This was an epic video on building fins! Great work!

@BendheimBoards Год назад

@neilbolen9767 Год назад

Excellent video on the construction of your fins. What resin are you using and did you use any thinning agents like alcohol?

@BendheimBoards Год назад

Polyester laminating resin and a hot coat at the end to help with sanding. No alcohol used

@chrisyhassold Год назад

G'day mate, Thank you so much for this video! Which thickness of the fibre glass do you use? I was checking it out but there are so many different thickness where I live 😅🙂

@BendheimBoards Год назад

6oz cloth

@gregpines2113 Год назад

Thanks for the video. Just made my mold for a fin. Used epoxy resin, hardener, Add F, tint, and 32 layers of cloth. After the last layer it started to smoke and i took it out of my garage and out in the shade. No other problem and looks good but any idea why it was starting to smoke? Maybe too small an area, I only made one fin in. Pieces of fiberglass were 10”x16”

@BendheimBoards Год назад

Could have been the resin overheating. Possibly if you did all layers at one time

@gregpines2113 Год назад

I did 4 layers at a time but only a few minutes between each set of 4. Total time took about 20 min. Did you wait much between your layers. Couldn’t tell on the video. Thanks for replying

@milospotuzak3251 Год назад

@@gregpines2113 Too much epoxy in the mold and probably too high room temperature...?? or maybe even too much of hardener led to isothermic epoxy reaction. I had no problemes making fibreglass panels of 36 or even 40 layers with epoxy anytime...

@BendheimBoards Год назад

@@gregpines2113 I did around 4 batches of 3 - 4 layers at a time then I'd let them dry and come back. Not to say that is the correct way, its just the way I did it.

Need a mask for glassing and sanding. Can you advise what size you wear and if this mask has vapor and sanding cartridges?

@BendheimBoards Год назад

Yes it has both. I wear a medium. Use my link if you buy one 🙏

@jaredearl6767 Год назад

Yo been loving the channel, was wondering if you have made a video on repairing spider cracks? I don’t think I’ve seen you make one yet, I’ve chased them out with a dremel before but the repair looks ugly after. Any response is greatly appreciated

@BendheimBoards Год назад

Thanks man. I don’t have a video on that. I don’t repair stress cracks unless they are leaking water

@stanleyfletcher2857 Год назад

Great video, where did you get the metal square/bolt that you put into the base of the fin? Was interested in trying to make one of my own

Polyester for these fins. Epoxy works as well though

@100percentsurf Год назад

More work needed on fin foiling and also fin layup. Get yourself a spike roller and only layup and roll every two layers.

@BendheimBoards Год назад

Yea man, first attempt at fins. Happy with how they came out, but definite areas to improve next go around

@kevinm5564 Год назад

What if you realized that you forgot the hardener in like the 2nd batch of resin?

@JoeSmith-gd8nd Год назад

So three layers at at time..let the resin kick and then add three more layers each time?

@BendheimBoards Год назад

Yes, I did 4 layers at a time but 3 would be easier.

@6Jevans9 Год назад

Don't let them kick in between, you'll get a much better chemical bond as well as mechanical.
