Ding repair kit for surfboards and Stand up Paddleboards, patches leaking dings on epoxy and polyester fiberglass boards
Includes Blue Planet Ding stick, 6" x 2" piece of heavy duty wet application rail tape and small piece of sand paper. Great for travel and for quick and easy ding repairs to keep your board watertight when you want to get back in the water and can't wait to get it repaired professionally.
This marine epoxy putty is easy to apply for quick surfboard and SUP board repairs. One advantage of using the putty is that it is thick and instantly seals leaks.
Thinner resins will often allow pinholes to form from air or water escaping from the ding while curing and may not form a watertight seal. While the putty repair will seal the board if done properly, it is somewhat of a temporary repair as it can get damaged or cracked more easily than a repair with fiberglass, so for a more permanent repair, sand the putty down and glass over it with fiberglass and resin (epoxy or polyester resin, depending on the board construction).

Thank you.

Will this work for a permanent repair. Would you recommend if the ding is on the bottom?

[@blueplanetsurf]

Yes, this will work to seal your board

Nice video, thanks...where is that SUP surf camp? I want to go...

[@blueplanetsurf]

The footage in the beginning is a beautiful wave in the Mentawai Islands off Java, Indonesia. We went with Pelagic Surf charters, it was amazing.

I have a crack/ding on the bottom of my rail, with this fix how long will you think it will last? ESP since it’s surfs up in the North!!!

[@blueplanetsurf]

This repair will hold unless it is damaged again in the same spot. it’s not as strong as glassing over the repair but it’s how I usually repair my personal boards and if done right it lasts a long time.

[@kaikaiser1497]

One question in this regard: I had a small crack on the bottom of the rail as well (just far down enough that the black stuff is showing) how do I know that my board already has soaked water inside? And if so, will it dry out just when I let this small ding just open a few days before fixing it?

[@dieseltke]

I’ve used these a bunch of times. They last for years. I just slap a sticker over top afterward.

[@blueplanetsurf]

Great. Stickers are ok but the rail tape I use in the video is thicker and more stretchy so it provides a better long term seal. 🤙🏼

[@vickyrodriguez6073]

Where can I get the putty and the tape from!?

[@blueplanetsurf]

It’s in the description: Link to ding repair kit (putty, railtape, sandpaper) as shown in video: www.blueplanetsurf.com/blue-planet-ding-patch-kit-ding-stick-epoxy-putty.html

Thanks. Good video. Would be good to to see if this kind of epoxy can create skin sensitivity. If so suggest do not get in contact with your skin.

[@blueplanetsurf]

If you have a sensitivity to epoxy, you should definitely wear gloves, I find it much easier to use plain fingers and it washes off easily.

[@sergiosantiago2]

I don’t even have a surfing board

[@blueplanetsurf]

Then you don’t need to repair it 😎🤙🏼
