With my last board I laminated a 2oz/plywood/2oz skin onto 1 lb EPS. The board came out kind of heavy which was OK, it being a gun.
My next will be a daily driver shortboard and I’m trying to think of how to save weight. One thought was to eliminate the 2oz between the foam and ply (1/8" bender ply). Can I lam the ply directly to EPS? My intuition is that any failure would come from the EPS separating from itself (the blank disintegrating), not from the ply separating from the EPS.
Anyone ever try a compsand without a layer of glass beteen the EPS and skin?
I’m not worried about skin strength because the ply is plenty strong. In fact I’m thinking of thinning the ply (which is 3 ply) by shaving off one ply.
Thanks for any input.
