Foil Board How Its Made

[@blooskyy7]

Awesome, enjoying watching this build, I've built two foil boards and it's great to see how others go about it

[@StandUpMagazin]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment.

[@TheRockIslandRock]

Good job SwissMiss

[@davidrudolph6096]

[@mvboatbuilder]

any suggestions on where to buy some EPS foam blocks ..great video thanks

[@StandUpMagazin]

Aloha thanks for watching. Best would be to ask your local surfboard shaper or google "eps foam supplier".

[@tdscuriosity]

I'm currently shaping a pump board. 🤘💀👍

[@tdscuriosity]

I'll post vids soonish

[@tdscuriosity]

... also I lived in honokawai for 2yrs. I miss it

[@StandUpMagazin]

@@tdscuriosity cool thanks for watching the video. Next time on Maui come say Hi.

[@jasonthomas1269]

Hi what brand of spray adhesive do you use for fibreglass cloth? thanks

[@StandUpMagazin]

Sorry I don’t remember. I think he used a 3M product from what I remember seeing on the spary can

[@robadair]

Appears to be 3M 77 spray adhesive

[@michaellambert8606]

How do you mask the foil tracks and handle so the don’t get epoxy in there?

[@StandUpMagazin]

Thanks for the question. He uses very little resin, so the foil box does not have to be masked. There is just enough resin to bond to the foam but not to saturate it. Once everything is cured he will router out the foil boxes.

[@scotty9079]

How did you correctly locate the tracks and cut them out after the carbon had dried?

[@StandUpMagazin]

Hey thanks for watching and the question. We kind of missed that part. Steve was routing out the carbon but I honestly for got how he marked it. I think you can find the tracks by just feeling it with your fingers.

[@scotty9079]

@@StandUpMagazin yeah, i can imagine it will be slightly obvious where they are, but a bit of good guess work might need to come into play. Really appreciate the reply!

[@StandUpMagazin]

@@scotty9079 totally always happy to engage on videos. thanks for being part of the conversation.

This is a nelsonfactory workshop?

[@StandUpMagazin]

Aloha, thanks for watching yes its in the Pauwela cannery right next door to Nelsons.

[@krailathjantarakong5186]

Thank you, now Nelson’s build aboard or stop?

[@StandUpMagazin]

@@krailathjantarakong5186 Nelson actually has a CnC mashine and is cutting foam for most brands here on Maui.

[@surfguy4u]

when you say resin,you meen epoxy.??

[@StandUpMagazin]

Thanks for watching. Yes you are right it’s epoxy. 🤙🏽

[@christophemeletiou9078]

How strong is the vacuum?

[@StandUpMagazin]

This is actually a very good question. Never thought of it, evidently I can't be too strong. I don't know with how many PSI he is working. Will bring that up next time.

[@StandUpMagazin]

So I just asked its about 2.45PSI

[@christophemeletiou9078]

@@StandUpMagazin There is something wrong. The number has to be negative and if it was -2.45 PSI it's insignificant.

[@StandUpMagazin]

@@christophemeletiou9078 right negative makes sense. I did ask Steve and this is the number he gave me. It’s low for sure but you can’t squeeze the living …. Out of it either… so not sure honestly.

[@heavyweather]

@@christophemeletiou9078 I believe more vacuum will starve the carbon especially when your using that little resin. With prepreg you could go 80%+

[@martychomik2878]

How is it that carbon doesn't bond to plastic. The bond to plastic with epoxy is mechanical, so there is no difference between sglass and carbon-either way its the epoxy that is bonding to the plastic.

[@StandUpMagazin]

Thanks for watching. Sadly I have to admit that your question / comment exceeds my knowledge on that subject.

[@elmanu1062]

shouldn't him wear a mask to prevent the chimicals going into his lungs?

[@StandUpMagazin]

Hi thanks for watching. He usually does we just did it for video purposes.

[@ThomasWessel-ny5ew]

Not even sandwich

[@StandUpMagazin]

@@ThomasWessel-ny5ew yeah just vacuum packed. Still riding the board and in top shape. Thanks for watching.
