HEY, im a new member so im sorry if this is in the wrong spot or something, BUT…i really wanna get into shaping my own board and jsut had a few quick questions before i get started
how do i attach the foam to the stringer ? special glue ? cocking ? does it matter ?
should i shape the rocker into the foam before or after i attach them to the stringer ?
and do i have to seal the foam before i start coating and glassing it ?
thanks for your time and help…ive noticed people on this site are VERY helpfull compared to every other site, i apprecitate it
well, i geuss you are doing EPS and epoxy. you should glue the foam to the stringer. second quesion i wouldn’t know. if you are using EPS foam and 2 lb or less dense you will have to seal before glassing
cool, thanks man. is there a special type of glue i should use to glue them to the stringer ? or sealant ? ( sorry im VERY new at this, dont know technical terms either ) so after i seal the blank, i put that “netting” fiberglass stuff over it, then the next layer is epoxy, then clear coat ? thats what i think it is, i havent done much research yet as im pretty far away from that stage. but any help or link to a step by step process for this would help a ton. thanks alot!
