Does anyone know of a good site to print out templates. The blank I ordered is a 6'8" RP from us blanks. The shapers comment says something about a fish but I want to make it a baby swallow tail. I dont have a good plan for this board. I want the nose to be styled after a short board is this a problem? I need a good template. And an even better plan for this board
Think you can get templates on the greenlightsurfsupply website, and maybe some of the other board making websites. Or... download AKU or one of the other free shaping software programs and design your own template. Pretty easy with AKU, and fun to make your own design. Good luck!
Blending curves.com was started by a forum member here. Also I hope you got red formula or are a big dude bc thats a thick blank.
I am a big dude I am 6'3" and my weight is about 200 pounds. I plan on making it like 22 1/2 max width maybe a little bigger. whats this red formula you speak of? I mean I know the density is red meaning light right? Please tell me more. Also I have watched a couple people glass without taping is that okay?
Thanks guys. Girvin what is red formula
‘us blanks red’
dig the sig
see thats what i thought he meant was the red which it is but i thought he meant i needed some different lam resin even though girvin didnt say it i thought he meant i needed something more. Does anybody have any experience with solarez
Solarez is a pre-mixed UV catalyzed resin. It works the same as any other
UV resin. If you have the silmar you can get the UV catalyst powder and
add it to the resin instead of the mek. It will make the resin a UV resin. I
have used Solarez and it glasses just fine. It is also nice as it kicks 100%
upon light exposure so there are little fumes to bother the neighbors.
How much time do I have to glass with the slymar 249 A....Some people have made it seem like I only have a few minutes. I wont use it if I only have a few minutes I would rather use the solarez and take my time and not feel rushed.
Go with the Solarez if you want to not be rushed. Flow out
your resin and catch any excess and you can re-use it
later if it is not exposed to sunlight. Watch the glassing
video on the Solarez website!!
