[…‘hexalite’ may be a ‘similar’ idea , yes ? That was one of the reasons I thought I’d ask , to see what OTHERS have done …Roy ?? Have you done fabric and foam fins ? ]
Hey Chippers,
I grabbed this photo off of here a long time ago. I don’t remember who made it, but thought it was pretty cool.
I know this is an old thread - but I’m hoping lawless can share what type of fabric was used in this inlay?? Standard cotton? I like the idea but not sure exactly how it was done…
That looks like newspaper to me.
2005 Halcyon Custom Fin Aprox. 12 Inches Deep ~ 1 Inch Thick Lance Carson Standard
Check the above out on resources. It has a 13 layer fiberglass spine and is done with high density PVC foam.
It took some time. Bagman wanted it to be an inch thick for his 11 footer.
It came out 5 thousands under. Certainly close enough.
I has a double 6oz epoxy shell over the inlay. It’s been run by several on their own board & everyone that rides it on their log comments on how smoooooooth it is and how well it facilitates turning.
Aloha, Rich
great stuff !
thank you Rich !
thank you Shushka for resurrecting it .
I have done foam core [polyurethane] fins .
I have done fabric inlay fins.
I have yet to combine the two ,
so .....
...to be continued ....
side fins done like this , but with solid fibreglass bases ...
keels or big twinnys could be nice ...
I still have sone foam lying around , 'somewhere ' here ! :)
cheers for jogging my memory , guys ! [I forget my old threads , mostly ...too many to remember , hence the name change every once in a while ]
cheers !
