Building a foil board part 1 | Glassing carbon sandwich layer

[@andreasmeerkamp8627]

Great job! Did the sandwich foam need a lot of resin? I checked the Lantor website and they stated that the 3mm foam needs 1,4 kg per m2. That is a lot compared to what the carbon fiber needs.

[@Dzjiefoils]

I used 2mm sandwich material. I definitely didn’t use a 1.4 kg’s of epoxy, so maybe it’s under saturated, but it’s strong a.f. I just used some more epoxy than I would on a layup without sandwich stuff.

looks like my alltime favourite wingfoilboard shape, if it only had a pintail ;-) congrats!

[@Dzjiefoils]

Thanks mate! It surfs amazing too!

[@plantwithroos]

Oohh that looks so nice!

[@Dzjiefoils]

Thanks!

Awesome work, great insights! if i see this correct you used 1 layer 200g and 2 layers of reinforcements around the foilbox on the bottom. on the top u used 2 layers 200g with a sandwich soric xf in between? how thick is your friends board? Thanks =)

[@Dzjiefoils]

Yes! You’ve paid attention. Very good! 😀 I don’t know how thick the board is. I’m on holiday now, but I will let you know soon..

[@paolomainieri3224]

Using Soric on the top may I use Xps 15 kg/m3 instead of massive ones type? thansk

[@Dzjiefoils]

Sorry, I don’t understand your question. 🤔🤷‍♂️

Nice video! Do you think the sandwich with two layers of carbon and one of Sonic performs better in weight and resistance than three layers of carbon?

[@Dzjiefoils]

Thanks!, Great question. I don't know the answer to this. I think the sandwich layer makes it stronger for pressure dents from the heels. But I don't actually know if it does. The deck feels rock solid though, But it also does on the previous board I made that had 3 layers of carbon on the deck. It is a bit cheaper though to use the Soric.

Super wholesome om dit net voor het slapen te kijken. Prachtig werk! Ik heb wel 1 vraagje, neemt soric niet vrij veel epoxy op en dus redelijk wat extra gewicht?

[@Dzjiefoils]

Bedankt voor je leuke comment!

[@Dzjiefoils]

Soric neemt inderdaad epoxy op. Het geheel wordt hierdoor wat zwaarder, maar niet mega zwaar o.i.d.

[@Dzjiefoils]

Wel lekker bulletproof

[@GARAASJ]

Top, bedankt! Ga ik volgende keer ook proberen om makkelijker vaart te maken ipv pvc sandwich

[@numbynum]

Love your videos man! I also plan to do a build, do you have a recommandation of a materiel supplier to get carbon,epoxy etc that ship to Europe France?

[@Dzjiefoils]

Thanks man!

[@Dzjiefoils]

I ordered my carbon carbonwinkel.nl, but after some bad experiences I now buy everything at polyestershoppen.nl I don’t know if they ship to France though. I would search locally to save shipping costs and the environment. 🤟🙃🤙

[@numbynum]

@@Dzjiefoils yah, i guess ill first reserch in france. Thank you for your answer 🤙🏼

[@Dzjiefoils]

What kind of board are you planning to build?

[@numbynum]

@@Dzjiefoils I plan to build a board for wing foiling, and hopefully ill have material left to build another one with less volume to wave foiling. I am just trying to figure out how to build it inside my home since i dont have a workshop or a garden..
