From the pics it looks same as the last few I’ve done but to me it is quite different. This one has a slightly wider outline … thinner, but I spread out the volume toward fuller, less knifey rails.
71 x 10-3/4 x 18-1/4 x 14 x 2
Shaped last week
Boxed & Laminated Saturday morning
Baking in the sun after hotcoated this morning … it is ready to be plugged & sanded !
Sweet! Are you a professional? The quality sure looks right there.
bud, your boards have looked good since #1, but they’re getting even better. you definitely have the eye & hands. well done mate!
yeah man it looks like you do this for a living
also awesome board
I really enjoy your posts. it’s good to see that great boards can be made without having the state of the art shop. gives me hope that my garage boards will get better.
what type of blanks are you using?
do you wrap your top lap just to the edge of where the rail meets the bottom?
just curious, looks like it from the pic.

Thats the deck hotcoat drip line. I thought I waited long enough when I used a hard squeegee along the rail tuck but when I looked later a line of resin had formed. This time I used some cat with the UV cure, so it had already jelled.
A few minutes extra with the sander

thanks everyone for the kudos (and for all the help from you people).
this one and most of the boards I’ve made have been Bennett foam. This one had Bennett ‘ISO foam’ printed on it and there were none of the small air holes that have previously been appearing while shaping
All were 4+4x4oz glassing w/UV cure.
finsihed this one #8 last night!
getting a bit better with my futures installs
