Some of the best Balsa shapes I have ever seen or surfed are by Andres in Ecuador, he is an absolute master with Balsa Guns ! Heres one of his Fish Swallowtails in the photo to the left.
If you were building it to use, would you use two or three layers? Have you tried UV lights, like they use in the nail polish salons? Is sunlight better, faster or preferred for another reason?
sunlight cures faster. Uv Box, depending of the uv resin mixture and W, takes like 4 to 7 min to cure. UV bulbs, lights, consume more power. End board is more expensive.
Sunlight is cheap and readily available. Lights cost and are easily found. Commercial glass shops use lights since they can't have their glassers carrying boards in and out of the shop.
I am doing my first cedar board, I have done the first lamination and I am about to flip it and sand the lap. Do you only have sand back to 50 grit ? Will the 50 grit scratch show ? Also I am using polyester will styrene work on it to get rid of the white marks ? Thanks Kev
Yep it's cuckoo-nutso. Polyester resin, including suncure, is thinned with stryrene, which causes cancer; the acetone he'll probably use to clean his hands has the interesting property, (besides being hideously toxic itself) of being able to carry the resin through your skin. Glassing without gloves is slow suicide.
I always wear gloves and respirator even with epoxy and if you do get any on the skin use soap and water then if it dries let it wear off, acetone is a double whammy
i liked the narration, nice voice and to the point. It even made me feel i actually like the guy behind the voice...
Yes, he belongs on the tour as a narrator.

Wallhanger? Display only? Beautiful board, but it seems wrong somehow to build but not surf it.
I have restored 42ft wood boats that would be wall hangers if they could fit it in the livingroom.
A beautiful piece of art!
Chronic Cellars!
Cheers!

If you're somewhere where it's often windy, cold, cloudy and rainy then UV curing outside is not going to work a lot of the time.
I like the fins method
Really nice looking board to good to ride
I want one!

What did you do with the overhang from the bottom glasfiber coat before applying the hotcoat ?
Bare handed hope he is not showering in acetone every day or MEK. Bad habits die hard ignoring them cuts back on surf time.
That chronic shirt in 2019
No gloves? That's crazy!
