So sick🤩🤩Bought a second hand board today which had been broken in half in the same area near the fins as on this video so was curious as to how they fixed it and ended on this video, hopefully my board wont snap again😅🤞🙏
Bro! Seriously impressed with this repair! About to watch it again to catch it all but man, what an undertaking and it looks so good! Question, your ''white sand coat'' on the deck, the first one. What was that material?
watched your 3d print vid a while back. stoked to see it in the shop. question about the carbon fiber stringer. why did you gut the stringer with the 1 break point and put the carbon fiber which now has 2 break points?
Maybe the video didn’t show clearly but I made two slots on each side of the break point in the stringer. And then added a new carbon piece on both sides. Its like a sandwich with new carbon on the outside and the broken stringer in between. So I didn’t cut the original stringer, just sawed right next to it. I hope I read your question correctly. Of not, please let me know!
@@giuvude80 yeah the eps I used is not a official surfboard foam. Just some concrete floor insulation foam. Some serious DIY jankyness going on. But it works so far!
@@Dzjiefoils ah ok, okay; It also happened to me that it flaked like this but because I had used too light resin on non-dense EPS; Since then I've always had plenty of resin
If that's spak filler, I'd ditch that. It's like putting a layer of chalk between your foam and the resin. A lot of board builders use the spak filler. I don't know why. There's really no need to "seal" the blank. The resin getting into the foam is what makes a good bond. I've never sealed my boards with spak filler and have never had ANY kind of delamination. Not even leaving my spare boards in my car. Imagine putting chalk dust on your car panels before spray painting them.
Sick! Altijd nice om je vids te kijken, lekker rustgevend
Thanks neef!

Nice! Buying second hand is always good! If it’s fixed the right way, it will never break at that point again.

Thanks!! So good to get compliments from a master repairer. Means a lot! The sand coat is just regular epoxy with some pigment.

Sickee videoo!!!
Thanks!
how did the carbon come off so easily as if it were paper tape, it didn't stick well when you laminated it previously?
I takes the first layer of foam with it. So the foam isn’t strong enough i’d say.
Or dense enough…
@@Dzjiefoils strange, on the shorts I have no idea but on the slightly larger boards a dense EPS of at least 30 kg or 40 kg is used;

I used epoxy with microballoons to fill the “holes” in the foam. I never seal my blanks..
