Balsa, I’ve always done it like that, I suppose it’s my anal approach to making everything into sections, do one section, go to the next one…maybe I’m too scared to try it differently.
Lavz, just saving a bit of time and weight, lapping one layer around the rails is easier than 2, can’t wait to see the footage at high speed, then I can say that I lammed the deck in 3 minutes!!!
Kokua, I acually spin one around North South leaving the other East West when I wrap the rails so that gives me plenty of room, They’re only like that when I’m working on the flat section (there I go again, sections) good idea though, I was only thinking of that the other day.
Doug, No I’m not a shorty really, I’m 5’ 9", about average. Need to lose a bit of 40yo+ paunch though, got the beer barrel-stick legs syndrome though if that’s any help… The paint was plain old acrylic enamel, warning test this on a piece of foam first, could dissolve your board…make you cry etc…
BTW the way I put the glitter on was to pinch an old salt shaker from the kitchen (Warning, ask your wife if that’s OK first, luckily I did) and half fill it with glitter, then sprinkle under the lam according to taste…
I put a thin coat of epoxy down first so it stack to that…

Ah, that’ll do it ;^D My 6’0" body has this terrible habit of turning fat into muscle or heat. I am treating this with beer

Cool. Tried this on EPS? And fear not. I test everything. Not sure if it’s paranoia or experience, tho
I got started on editing all the footage of the hixell… its going to take a while, but once it’s done we’ll be able to have instructional video’s for everyone on swaylocks to watch, or laugh at…
I snapped some still frames from the footage…
The hixell b4 glassing :
Hick’s Epoxy kit and organised glassing table…
Chip with his everyday surfing board:
Some fins hicksy / chippy are working on…
Theres about 40 minutes of footage i need to cut down into smaller sections for everyone to be able to download them and watch them - should be up later this week.
