but here lies the question. was wondering if anyone has ever done different types of resins for the rails
was thinking resin X bottom with full lap. resin x deck full lap to bottom. but then a full maybe 4 inch thick rail laps of epoxy lams, with a epoxy deck patch.
hotcoat the rails with epoxy, but then the rest hot coat with resin x.
A: does this make sense?
B: will this work.
C: IS IT WORTH IT?
trying to get a board that will be durable to dings, but also have a bit of life in it. epoxies feel dead to me.
Aloha
Thanks.
this is my Sways motivated quiver. all homemade the middle row.
Urethane resins like Resin-X are generally epoxy friendly, meaning they bond well to each other.
Bert Burger seemed pretty stoked at one time with the idea of mixing flex properties by using different types of Resin Research epoxy... One type on the deck and bottom, one type along the rails, etc. I think at some point he was using 3 different types on a single board.
Unfortunately that won't get you around cold temperature issues.
Matt Campbell and/or Greg Loehr are likely good sources of information too.
