Hey brother! absolutely outstanding videos, each and every time.. congrats! seriously, probably watched every ding repair video out there and none are clear and informational as yours:)

[@awai5600]

Thanks for this vid. I always learn a couple of key lessons watching them! I hope you get to 1,000!!

[@danvargo9075]

Great video and explanation 🤙

[@1001Bull]

Thank you for the video! Just got myself a first surfboard for cheap with a couple dings, planning to fix it up by myself using your tips. Realized that a lot of epoxy coats and sanding are awaiting me so buckling up for some repair action!

Hi

[@mickduprez9598]

good stuff! I've had the same issue mixing small amounts from the bottle. Next time you buy some squeeze type (matserfoods I think) tomato/bbq/etc sauce, grab the cap of it an use it on the hardener bottle, they fit well ;)

Nice vid full of usefull infos as usual. If may I suggest, with epoxy it is far better to not use acetone, but denaturated alcohol only. it is not that toxical and works very well. Also if you can get your hands on Sicomin SurfClear epoxy down in NZ, get it. It is a French product and it is freaking good stuff. They also provide two additives. One is a fastener which drasticaly fastens the curring time so it allows me to do both sides of repairs, or even coats in one day, the second additive is a thinner which helps self leveled the coats and also helps with sanding. cheers! P.S. sorry for commenting on more then a year old vid, but as I am going thru your brilliant vids I love to share some of my experiences..

Use a small wide mouth plastic container to store the resin in small quantities and use a syringe to draw the amount needed. Works well for me. 🤙🏾

It’s the fluorescent lights. Also what do you use to clean? Also have you ever used heat to eliminate bubbles? Thanks great stuff

[@dudeleboski2692]

I count to 150, then change mixing vessel as well as stiring stick.

[@dudeleboski2692]

I use a pair of high accuracy digital scales for both parts of Epoxy

[@maxnuccio2440]

🤦🏻‍♂️ me as you listed off my exact environment. Humid, dusty shed, finger oil all over board, cleaned with alcohol 😂 needless to say I struggle with epoxy repair

[@user-qj2wp7xg4z]

I use kinetix laminating... and for filler(hot) coats i find mixing 3% wax-in-styrene is a MUST to get a finish that flattens out with no fisheyes. Without the wax-in-styrene I get fish eyes, I get dry spots where the resin won't flatten out.

[@michelebursi3312]

thanks for the video! I am shaping my first board and at deck lamination (Epoxy) one of my tail cuts didn't wrap up nicely and I got a couple of bubbles. How do you suggest to fix that?

[@1001Bull]

Hi! I am rewatching this video having just dinged by EPS/epoxy board :( I haven’t noticed the ding on time and rode the board for another hour or two before realizing. An honest question: how would you check if the water has entered the board and if so, how would you get rid of it? I watched all videos in the recent year but can’t quite remember which one may have discussed the topic. I would greatly appreciate your advice!

[@DG-ld4rw]

Hey mate! Good job!

[@dnomyarnostaw]

The high viscosity epoxy that bubbles when mixing, warm it with a hair dryer first, and even after mixing. The bubbles should clear. I've even gotten rid of bubbles after laying it up.

[@torbsteyn]

HI there, I've got a ding in my epoxy board and am planning to repair it myself, do I need any sort of final coats over the resin to prevent sun damage? How do I prevent the epoxy from going yellow overtime with sun exposure?

[@hugosantos6099]

I pour acetone over my firewire helium2 to clean it before hotcoat the ding and the whole board started to melted.. bugger. I'll never do that anymore.

Give a try to RR Kwik Kick, faster setting time i ever find. Very useful for ding repairs
