How Do You Glass A Surfboard? | The Pick-Up 21/22

- If Owl Chapman is the Peter Fonda of surfboard making, Jack Reeves is Dennis Hopper - two of the best to ever do it, and a couple of easy riders, no doubt. Consider this a golden ticket into the step-by-step workflow of the North Shore glassing legend.
This is just a snippet from our weekly North Shore news show, The Pick-Up. A Stab and Vans joint. Watch Episode One here: stabmag.com/stabcinema/the-pi...
Both these guys were once everyday chums back in the 70's & 80's.. More than once Owl scared away the hot chicks we were working on with his off the wall remarks. JR had a back room collection of 40 of the best RB's & Diffs he'd glassed & kept over the years. He once sold me the balsa gun that Diff told me was the best board he'd ever made.
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
Looks like they are still “everyday chums.”
Started making boards at age 71 after years of surfing. Followed JR’s technique from day one. Best decision ever! Great to give back and get kids involved. Glassing is my favorite part of the process. It’s when the board comes alive!
Yes best glassier in the world. Great friend as well. Aloha Jack 🤙
Just finished glassing my board. The rail lap has always taken me too long so from now on I’m going to wet out the laps by hand like he did. Damn, major lightbulb moment!
Learn sumpin' new every day!!!
Felt the same. Bout to shape my first skimboard and this trick seems like a lifesaver
i tried it too but did not like it very much. i am faster by slightly waterfalling (without all the excess) and streaking along the lap with the squeegee..
@@alexanderschuit5340 There’s another UA-camr that wets out the lap by dipping his hand in the resin bucket and then follows with the squeegee. It seems to waste a lot less resin than waterfalling because he catches a lot of the excess in the bucket below.
@@joeblow1942 'Like i said, i do a fraction of the waterfall you see most people do. Confident in saying way less waste then the hand in bucket method. i have to use the squeegee after i waterfall to smear the epoxy over the hanging fibreglass, because its not enough to get a thick curtain thats dripping. its enough to saturate the cloth after re-distributing the resin by squeegee, and have SOME dripping.
also, catching the excess in the bucket like you see in a factory style lam doesnt do all that much to reduce waste because the always ensure they have more then enough resin to do 2 waterfalls. they use the caught resin to go over the top of the lam again to make sure it is saturated deeply then still work off most of it anyways. it all ends up on the floor, not onto the next board. that only happens with slow curing epoxy.
if you get up in numbers (glassing boards) you will improve your speed independent of the method you are using.
you know what helps? a big squeege and pooring most of the resin out right away!
I wish I had this tutorial back in the early 80’s when I was doing homemade’s. My laps were crap.
Had a ding shop in the same property for a few years. Those too are the most salted and experienced in the biz ! So much knowledge and insight. Miss the sticky floor and smell of hotcoat !
Jack you are my hero man! 🤙🏻
Just The Best !
Crazy how much resin is wasted in traditional surfboard manufacturing
Couldn't imagine glassing out there it's like 10 dollars for a gallon of milk
A Jack Reeves glass job is not cheap! Nor should it be.
LIVING LEGEND
There’s a fantastic series on glassing with none other than Jack Reeves by the fibreglass Hawaii UA-cam channel. It goes into every detail about the process with commentary, I studied it for weeks, great stuff
lov it !!!
So sick
