Some glassers are against having any acetone in epoxy shops. It’s a pathway to blood poisoning. White vinegar works well and is safe for cleaning tools, if done while epoxy is still sticky. I love using white vinegar
Sweet. Thanks for sharing. Amazing how after shaping protos away from the mainstream for the last 40+ years in my little workshop, Jimmy has techniques and theories that I also use and that were learnt through trial and error. PS The hotwire setup needs a converter from AC current to DC current before the dinner switch. Thats how the wire will get hot , otherwise it will just pop a fuse. Regards from Mauritius
Thanks Robert for sharing and a special thanks to Jimmy as well. The world would be a much better place if people were as open as he is, people working together, instead of creating patents and doing anything for money. Great work /claes
I'm pretty sure he's talking about this video, at about 8 minutes in I talk about downwind board shapes: ua-cam.com/video/iduGEB1OXzI/v-deo.htmlsi=TPFqzjtvqPnR7b-Z

@@blueplanetsurf I put the vinegar in a spray bottle. I clean tools and sticky spots on my arms and feet with it. I lam in sandals, haha,
Outstanding interview, Robert, with an absolute legend.

Thank you, yes it's amazing how he does not really hold anything back.

That's a good tip, thanks for sharing.
The audio is really harsh. Just letting you know.
Yeah, sorry, the mics were not set up right

awesome to see where the magic happens from one of the shaping legends.
Yes indeed!
Jimmy is awesome. Every board from the 80s to kite surfing that I’ve had of his has been ahead of the times. Thanks for sharing
Couldn't agree more!
Spending an hour listening to a legend shaper - thanks again for the interview!
Thank you for the comment!
Great video...I love to hear design theories.
Thanks, it’s great to talk about design with Jimmy. As he would say: it’s not my opinion, it’s just physics!
All the best for the SUP book project!
Thank you, it feels a bit overwhelming but I'll just tackle it a bit at a time.
