Hey like I said in other post I am so “virgin” on this shapin thing. It tooked like 2 years to decide on makin my own board.
I started by watching shaping videos, playin with small pieces of foam and a surform, autocad 3D max and PS for the cyber board etc.
Weeks ago i was in the car with my gfr searchin for a big piece of paperboard and guess what we find near to a garbage, lots of foam pannels.
My first atempt on makin a blank was a piece of crap coz i forgot to do some measurements.
My second try looks way better, actually i’ll go on till my blank will look like a surfboard. If everyting will be ok i will paint and glass it.
I was so damn scared when i cut the pannel in half and after shape it a lil bit i figure that it wasn’t str8 at all. So what i did vas get two str8 metal “things” as a guide and shape it.
from my point of view it looks better than i tought. yeah i am gonna laminate it. I put the fins just to see how it’ll look like. I hope today i’ll have some time to do it at least to laminate the deck.
If you can get uv cure resin in Spain give that a try. Or, go a little lighter on the catalyst. Hell, you figured out how to make a surfboard out of chunks of foam. You’ll figure out how to laminate it. Good luck. Hope you give a ride report, too. Mike
Thanks Mike, I will try today to go like u said a lil bit lighter on catalyst and maybe i’ll finish it.
Definitely I’ll give a ride report the only problem is to finish it.
About the UV cure… i’ll be glad to find a online store to buy it. The point is that for the first board i wanna go on old school and don’t waste money coz maybe i am not for this kind of things (eg. shaping).
