This is catalyzed polyester resin 8 oz with 10cc of mekp catalyst at 80°F so a pretty fast set and you can see that there is more than enough time to get it all done
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience, it's been invaluable to me. Just finished a new board and you've certainly helped me beyond measure by breaking down the entire process and simplifying it. Many Blessings brother. Mahalo.
Awesome tutorial! Why do you think this is not the standard method for experienced laminators? Seems like it's a method that saves a ton of resin waste.
Super! I'm currently making a handful of boards after only ever having made a dozen, the last one being 30 yrs ago. 2 days ago I had to strip a lam off because it kicked before I had the rails wet out and down (I misread the uv directions by a factor of x10 haha). I did ok with my next try last night, but since one of the shapes is in EPS foam, I'm gonna have your heart attack unless I can double speed my game. Your method looks like a real viable alternative and I will try it on the other boards first (the epoxy last). However, since I'm double glassing the decks: How does this method work for 2 layers - just paint it a bit thicker initially? Thanks so much for this vid!
@@kazumasurfboards This made complete sense to me. I worked factory hot coating for a bit and that's what made this click for me. Funny I found this because I have been planning on doing my own completes. The laminating and the fin boxes are what has held me up. Thanks again man. Cheers
That’s amazing! Thank you. A question, please…. Will this work just as well using EPOXY and 6 Oz cloth on EPS? EDIT: In another comment he said it works with epoxy and really well with tint too. Don’t know about using 6 oz cloth and EPS yet though.
Thank you for the countless tips, I was wondering, would you make any changes for epoxy and is there a reason you're using warp apposed to e or s glass?
Epoxy would be the same method and warp is the best cloth for my conditions here because I need the extra break resistance without the weigh that warp provides.
Can you do a video on tail/ nose thickness? Range for different types? Where it starts at 12 inches from nose and tail and what it ends at the actual nose and tail?
@@joeblow1942 I tried it just once coz, I didn't have time to make boards. With epoxy it's not a big deal to glass, even for a long board u'll have plenty of time. But with this method, I'm 100% sure that the shaped blank, will suck enough resin and wont delaminate.
Yes it works the same on a cut lap and is magical on a color resin tint lamination because the saturation. Is really even and won't leave the wavy discoloration that you see when you over squegee it.
