Does Sun Cure Fiberfill cure totally clear?

General Discussion
1

Just wondering if anyone has used Sun Cure Fiberfill in a ding and if it dried completely clear. Thanks

2

Clear, but not clear enough to easily read print underneath it.

Call it clear with white/creme agents.

3

Would it match up with an aged board that is slightly off-white? Thanks

4

Off white, should match better than resin and cloth. Can be polished to a shine, if you want.

Sorry…one more question on this matter…is this a good method to use for filling in pressure dings on the deck. can you squeegee it flat to level the deck? Thanks

On a scale of 1 to 10, with one being to silicon goop it, and 10 being a real resin and cloth glass job, it’d be about a 5.

Chopped strands of glass with the resin in Solerez is…boat technology at best.

All the dents will show, but not thru a heavy wax job.

bwinterroth- Why is it that you want to fill in pressure dents on the deck of your board? are they leaking (cracked)? If they are just dents from your feet etc… and are water tight, just leave them alone. -Carl

Partly for aesthetic reasons and partly to prevent delams. The latter being there most important

I’m with Lee- the stuff I have used, admittedly in warm climates and high humidity and may have been another brand of the stuff… well, it dried cat-urine yellow, translucent rather than clear. I don’t use it. And I charge extra for dings I have to redo that used it.

It’s misery to sand, what with all the little wee bits of glass in there. And the thickness of the stuff means it’s not the best thing to use when you want to make something waterproof.

The thing is, filling heel dents with it won’t prevent delams. We are not talking about any serious reinforcement, more like filler. Better off adding a fiberglass cloth deck patch and a hotcoat, both clear, which will reinforce, stiffen and strengthen the deck and do the job right with minimum weight.

hope that’s of use

  1. aesthetically, it isn’t going to look any better…which is why it should be covered with a heavy wax job.

  2. you’ll get a better, more cosmetically appealing repair if you actually wait for it to delam and then just drill it and fill it.

if it’s got some little cracks, i’d give it a shot of acryllic to seal it up. beyond that…i’d leave it alone.
