I love surfing and I truly believe that making surfboard is such a beautiful form of art And that people should give surfboard makers more respect as it take so much time and so much skill !
I totally agree! I make boards for fun and have great respect for those trying to make a living in this industry because it’s a lot of work with small returns.
I worked for glasser in hawaii for few months. Biggest time saving tip is to use hard back sander on first pass. Like 60 grit. Especially on laps of glass on rails. Fast and end up with smoother end product but have to be careful not to sand through. Lol. Great video. I could almost smell the resin. Mahalo.
That was a great video and board. I used to surf in the 70’s and 80’s. Boards back then were better than the things you can poke your fingers through today.
Hi...Enjoy watching your know - how. That marker for the lap line was gold (okay it was really black haha). I know your busy and wearing a mask is a big part of your job, and timelapse speed things up! I'm just saying, can very much learn a lot from what you say also...much power and learning from the "spoken word". Thanks for this channel. You got some cool helpers there to Dad!!! Cheers.🤙
Tanner Bendheim love your shaping/ glassing room . I take it its in your yard or garden?. I live in the UK its getting cold towards winter. I've stopped glassing in my bedroom due tio temperature. (my dog and I are forced to seep in the lounge when glassing) Next spring, I'm putting something like this shelter in my small garden . but I havent seen a large shelter like yours here in the UK?. could you give us the make and size and cost $$££of that plastic frame tarp shelter set up? thankyou . Love this video. one of the best on utube from start to finish, perfect and to the point.
Thanks. It’s inside my garage. It’s a portable walk-in green house I purchased on amazon for $100. I live in Orange County, California so it doesn’t get too cold but I use a few heaters in the winter to keep it up to temperature. I think the the green house is 7x7x12. Here is a link to a similar one: www.amazon.com/dp/B001QIHEY0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JggUDbZG7YZZ9 Best of luck!
Tanner Bendheim thanks I will go online and look for it. being portable you can put it in your bedroom, passage, garden, courtyard, garage and shape all day long I'm in heaven WAAAAAAA! I live on the English channel in Devon. this particular area in the south of Devon doesn't have any waves except in winter so you have to drive 40 miles to the nearest good wave up the coast at Bigsbury beach.. I am lucky though, even though this is in the beautiful green country side we have a surf supplier for blanks 3o miles away in Kingsbridge called Triocean its a great friendly surfshop. In the north of Devon waves are pretty good and plentiful.. What does freak me out here in devon is the stupid liberals. like California its run by the libdems and so there are the same problems you are facing in California. I am a British Trump supporter cheers , surfs up!
Hey Tanner, Do you use anything to clean the board after sanding the hot coat? My last board I sanded then used denatured alcohol to clean the board before the gloss coat and ended up with tons of uneven spots. Gary
I usually wipe it down with a rag and then blow it off with a shop vac. I do also use denatured alcohol but very little. I just dab a little onto a rag and do a quick wipe down of the board. Be sure to sand in long drawn out passes to help keep the board even. I also get uneven spots some times, it’s hard to make it perfect. Good luck!
Hey bro, when you finish the second fiberglass layer on the top deck. Do you not have to sand smooth the cut joint on the bottom of the board (see 1:48) cheers
Yes, I always clean up my cutlaps to try and make them as smooth as possible. You can sand them down with a hard block with sandpaper or sanding disc. You only need to hit the rough spots or bumps to make it all flat and smooth. Just be careful not to sand too aggressive so you don't sand away the color if using a tint. Good luck!
@@jackzarifeh No I don't get it completely flush otherwise you'd probably start burning into the color. Just get it as flat as possible to make the hot coat process easier.
Fully in it now! I have my shape stand built, the green house in affect! Thanks for the inspiration. Just bought 4 blanks, glassing material, fin boxes.. one question, if you see this. For glassing, when do you use laminating resin and sanding resin? And do you use both? Thanks, i may learn the hard way!
Laminating resin with the fiberglass cloth and sanding resin for the hot coat to seal it. Use laminating resin for the fin and leash plugs as well. Laminating resin bonds to the board better and sanding resin allows you to sand once cured
thank you, with all my respect for u and all the people that make this kind of work, i didnt know it was such a huge amount of toxic products that goes into the ocean when it cracks. I will definitely invest in a more eco friendly surfboards from know on, you opened my eyes.
Nice little swaylock set up. Fill coat the lam, styrene the cut lap and don't use green tape. Cobalt will help with reds. But not bad bro. Reminds me of my dad's garage years ago when I 1st got started
Hey man! You can save the paint brush... put in thinner... and them wash whit hot wather and soap. Three times.. and save in a pice of cloth with the soap foam... i dont now.. if the paint brush is very chip , it is unnesesary... sorry for my inglish.
Hello Tanner, great video man! I saw you put the fins at the beginning of the whole lamination process (before the cloth and first lam coat) but not sure why didn't you put the plug during this same stage? Thanks you!
Thanks man, that’s a great question. You can actually do the FCS 2 fins before glassing or after, I’ve seen it both ways. Most do it before and it’s what FCS advises as well. The leash plug and longboard center fin boxes go in after the hot coat. I don’t really have a good reason as to why other than that’s what I was always taught and is industry standard.
Hi Tanner, excellent video bro. I will like to know why do you put the leash plug after hot coat? I see the fins you put them before lamination and thought the leash plug would be put in at this stage as well. Appreciate your response, thank you!

Hi ! Great video, thanks for sharing it ! I Can see you don't Sand the cut laps before doing the hot coat, i did the same thing and i have a gap between the laps and the bottom of the board .. Will the last layer of gloss be enough to fill the difference ? Thanks a lot , have a nice day !
I usually sand any excess resin or high spots. I also try to press the first lap down with a tongue depressor to be somewhat level with the foam. Not sure I’m visualizing exactly what your describing but adding the gloss coat won’t get rid of any bumps or gaps. I suggest sanding it even and then applying the gloss coat. You won’t have to worry about small burn throughs since your adding the gloss coat. Good luck!

After the gloss coat, start with 320 grit then move to 400, 600, 800, 1000, and 1,200. You should wet sand all of these grits. Then finish with compounding liquid and then polishing liquid.

Do you have any videos of how to repair a delaminated board? I've got a retro fish and the underside from nose to mid section has delaminated and come away (not just bubbled)
Quick question, can you tell me if it's possible to put epoxy resin (as a final layer) directly after painting with acrylic spray, or i should use fiberglass? It is not super professional board, just first experiments... ;) Thank you!
Hard to say when I can’t see it but the general answer is yes you can put epoxy resin over acrylic spray paint. Fiberglass cloth is the strength of the board so as long as the original fiberglass cloth is in good shape you should be ok.
Hey Tanner, love watching your videos. Do you have any tips for laminating the swallow tail? I can never lam the buttcrack area on the first go. Also the swallow tips tend to get pretty messy.
After my lamination I put an additional clear patch of fiberglass on the deck side of the swallow tail to cover the section of foam that my cut lap doesn’t get. If your doing a resin tint color just be sure to get the color on that section of foam even if the fiberglass doesn’t cover it. Then go in with the clear patch. Works great. For the tail tips just make sure you are checking your angle cuts on the fiberglass and how they will fold before adding the resin so you have clean overlaps. Good luck!

I could watch this for hours -dude, you’re a craftsman.
Appreciate it 🤙
Makes you realise how much goes into glassing a board , legend thanks
Yes it’s a lot of work and time consuming. But worth it!
Thank you for not adding terrible music ;)
Haha your welcome!
great video without horrible music...thank you
Looks exactly the same as when I was a glasser 52 years ago. I guess some things never change.
It’s true! Old school is the new school.
Old school never died it got passed on. Great to see this!!

thanks so much! and thanks for all the credited links. super helpful and really beautiful job. i wish it didnt mean throwing away so many brushes XD
Thank you! You can re-use brushes by using acetone if you prefer. I’ve started doing so as well.
Thanks a lot!!!
Big waves!!!
Very cool, nice work!
Thank you sir!
You bet!

There aren't any eco-friendly options. Epoxy comes from oil. Anyone telling you it's made from pine sap or hippy sweat are lying. Quit surfing!

Wow amazing ,
Do you have any videos of how to repair a delaminated board? I've got a retro fish and the underside from nose to mid section has delaminated and come away (not just bubbled)
Sorry not yet. There are others out there on UA-cam though
Any reason you don't spackle the board before glassing? Have you ever spackled a board to compare?
I’m not familiar with that method. I think it’s for EPS blanks, I only use PU blanks.
Quick question, can you tell me if it's possible to put epoxy resin (as a final layer) directly after painting with acrylic spray, or i should use fiberglass? It is not super professional board, just first experiments... ;) Thank you!
Are you spray painting the foam blank or after the hot coat?
@@BendheimBoards i sanded the old board a little bit and repaired dings, and now painting, under the paint it has epoxy layers ;)
Hard to say when I can’t see it but the general answer is yes you can put epoxy resin over acrylic spray paint. Fiberglass cloth is the strength of the board so as long as the original fiberglass cloth is in good shape you should be ok.
@@BendheimBoards Thank you!
Can you please make more of these
Yeah man, working on one right now. Should have a lamination video up later this week.
@@BendheimBoards thank you
Would it work if I used a sharpie to make the stringer black?
No it will bleed with the resin. Use a water based paint or posca paint pen
@@BendheimBoards Ok Thanks!!
Hey Tanner, love watching your videos. Do you have any tips for laminating the swallow tail? I can never lam the buttcrack area on the first go. Also the swallow tips tend to get pretty messy.

If your doing a resin tint color just be sure to get the color on that section of foam even if the fiberglass doesn’t cover it. Then go in with the clear patch. Works great. For the tail tips just make sure you are checking your angle cuts on the fiberglass and how they will fold before adding the resin so you have clean overlaps. Good luck!
