Making a rubbish board for “someone else” for the first time. Although im basicly making changes to the shape I would like to try.
Got foam from the same lot as the last one. They need cleaning up and the sides sanded to creat a flat surface to bond.
Found some lovely dress grade western red cedar in a skip bin around the corner from home. A residential build. I had them machined. so i have 4 epic stringers, 3 at 11mm thick and one at 15mm.
Tweaking the design on Shape 3D. Lenthened out to 5’9" from 5’6", thinned out the tail and nose profile (I left the last one a bit thicker to see how the glued foam would hold up), increased the rocker by a smidge nose and tail. Its still pretty flat.
Hey Stew. The glue to use is a foaming PU glue. In the states gorilla glue is the most common. Used in other parts of the world for a long time. Not sure why sk8 would not simply list the glue he used for ya.
A word of warning with the gorilla glue. It does work very well, however it can be a pain to sand. Watch out for foam that starts to dip along each glue line when sanding.
Gorilla Glue makes a white glue that dries clear. I have good luck with it. Use liberally. Also there is a glue by the name of “Roo Glue”. Made right here in Oregon. Neither Marko nor Millennium wanted to tell me what they use, but it sets fast. About 45 minutes.
