Hi SynergyTodd -
I bought it at the local hardware store. It only came in small bottles though so I had to get several.
Thatd be the one Ray.
Thanks,
Bob
“game set match”
edit: thanks grasshopper for your information.
I’m jumping in here a bit late. I use routers and mill end bits to cut all my foam. Masonite templates clamped to the blank are the ticket. I would suspect thats how Jim P got those nifty curves in that great looking longboard. A few years ago I picked up a Noll figure 8 stringer longboard to restore. I called Laura Noll and asked how Greg used to cut all those pieces of wood…I mean there were 16 full stringer in this beast all twisting back and forth. It looked like a spiders web. She said it’s all done with routers and templates…she also said that they went through a lot of blank screw up too.
When I cut my parabolic blanks I always use a router to get the exact design. Clamping a straight masonite board, cutting with a router would give you a factory edge that wouldn’t need any touching up. It’s slower that a saw, and a bit messy, But routers and templates are like Bread & Butter they just go together.
Like my grand daddy said, “what’s time to a hog?”

Hey John
Where do you get clear GG? All I have ever seen is the brown stuff.
FYI, you can use pigment in GG. If you use black, be sure to spackle the edges if gluing EPS. Ask me why I know that!!!
Resinhead, That’s exactly the information I’m looking for on this thread. Diffrent techniques that are applied in diffrent situations.I d like to hear Jim Phillips thoughts on this as well as Thrailkills n Balsa Bills.
Thanks, Bob
if you go with the router, be really really careful with the long router bits.

Exactly, you need a speed controler to slow the bit down from 30,000 rpm to about 10,000 rpm. You need a 1/2 collect if possible. 1/4 inch collect with a 1/4 x 4 in bit is going to snap off at the chuck…fly across the room, and lodge in the guy chest watching from across the room. It will all happen in super slow motion too…OOOOOOOOOhhhhhh,Nnnnooooooooo runnnnn. Sheeeeessss goooonnnaaaaaa buckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…And everybody scatters to hide behind a 3/4 in 4x8 sheet of plywood.
Excellent router safety tips there, but a little graphic…
Bandsaw is the proper tool anyway. You might be able to do it with a pocketknife and a cheesegrater,
but that doesn’t mean you SHOULD.
Buh…How bout a zacto knife and a nail file?
Duh…Could I use dat? huh huh…huh huh
Actually my favorite cut out method is a medium size rock and a piece of broken baseball bat…
WOW resinhead!
Will that work for finboxes too?!?
I’d respond further but don’t want to use up my quota of smart-ass remarks this early in the month.
Didn’t you get the memo?
Our quotas have been extended for the month of December!
Embrace the holiday spirit Mike!
Cut eps for angled stringers with a table saw, top guide board attached with double stick tape.

Duckdive, Thanks for the clear concise illustrations…pictures worth a thousand words… Bob
