- A colourful Mini Mal Surfboard with massive de lamination fully restored step by step including liquid polyurethane expanding foam, marine paint and fibreglass. It was a big job, but certainly worth the effort.
Remarkable job! Enjoyed watching.
Right on. Right on. I dig that blue and it came out ready to shred. Good on you, teaching your son about what you love. That's a privilege
Love your patience and precision. Learning a lot from you. Thanks
Long ago we used the "quarter" tap test to locate delaminations. Tap it with a quarter (25 cent piece US) & listen to the sound. (Any hard object will work). Yes, that was a very big job, but the board looks fantastic! Good on you saving a board that will provide a lot of fun rides for someone instead of going to the landfill!
Nice job. 🤙🏼
Greg, I have used lightweight drywall mud to fill in and mold paddle boards I have shaped. It works really well is very economical.
Amazing patience and great skills!
Great job, looks awesome
Gotta say I was a bit skeptical when you said you were going to paint the whole board. But i am converted what a beautiful final product
Looks like you nailed it Greg. Great dedication to go back to it and fix up the mistakes. I think I would have given it a bit of extra wax to cover it up, thrown it in the car, and started surfing it.
It's great that you explained the issues that you had, I learnt a lot. Also, using the foam to cover that before puttong the glass on it is something i want to try next one i do.
Foaming glue spritz with water as it dries. It won’t rise as much as two part foam
You must place a plastic sheet over the curing foam and spread with your hands on top to flatten out
When I used the pour foam I mixed for 20 seconds but it didn’t pour super easily not sure why. I used 1oz mixes per part a b.
maybe you could have injected the foam through few drilled holes in the deck instead of re-fiberglasing the entire thing?...
Maybe a squeegee would have helped distributing the foam?✌️

Mr. Russell! Great video, honestly my heart fluttered when I read ''expanding foam'' in your title and seeing you repair that delam put a big grin on my face! Is there a way I can get in touch with you (instagram, facebook?) or if you wanna shoot small kine ding repairs a message on either of those platfoms I'd love to have a chat with you! Great video and well done on the outcome, you earned yourself a new subscriber!
