One of the main reasons things are going one slow with the tests on epoxy is the lack of enthusiasm from the general public. For example, Tim put his used, absolutely cherry 9-0 epoxy H-3 for sale in the used board racks about 6 weeks ago. It is priced under $500.00, which is very reasonable for an epoxy. It is still sitting there. There are just a handful of customers that are interested in epoxy and the rest just want a board made like their last one.
We have built about a half dozen epoxy boards using both Clark and EPS foam using Resin Research epoxy resin. At this point we cannot see any distinct advantage that makes up for the extra cost. If you keep it lighter than a standard polyester board it is weaker. Make it the same weight and there seems to be nothing gained but price. We are not done with testing, and the next will be increasing the foam density to Classic and using a heavier deck lamination with a 4 oz. bottom. At this point, I can see no advantage in EPS foam.
In answering your question, yes, we have a glass shop that can do it. The finish work will not be quite up to Waterman’s standards but very acceptable. If you are serious about one in the immediate future, email the shop with the details of what shape, length, stringer, and color you want and we can work up a price.
