I got a tip for ya with the acid brush bristles. I use those things a lot for work too being a plumber. Whenever I get new brushes I run a thin cyanoacrylate glue down at the base of the bristles to keep em from screwing up my solder joints! Not sure how that glue affects the resin you're using but it works wonders for what I do. Best of luck!

The repair turned out great. And i find it a great video to display how to easily fix a deep ding on the board which is not on the rail, even though that would be rather similiar. There is one thing I don't understand. Why do you/we opt for a filler made from resin and foam pearls while fixing a Polyurethane-Foam board (if it is one). Wouldnt it make more sense to use Polyurethane to fill the gab, the density should be rather identical. Using a homemade mixture holds the risk of beeing more dense and much harder than the original material. We actually would compromise the internal structure of the board and may unbalance it ever so slightly. Would appreciate a qualified answer. ( You can buy white Polyurethane- in spray cans)
@Rogue_wave2 жыл бұрын
I’ve always used it because its the industry standard. But I always like to try new materials (especially if they cure faster) does the polyurethane tube material expand and harden? I’ve used expanding insulating foam to fill big holes in EPS (on SUPs) and had great results.
@jaceklanger77352 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your fast response. I can't tell for certain. The traditionel yellow foam does harden to a point where you'll be able to cut it with a knife ( same as the board blanks). So i assume it would be the same for the white foam. Suppose you'll have to try it out first. Best to try it out on a piece of pu-foam, so you get some insight how the result would look like and how well it will stick.

When you lay the fiberglass patch down, how do you sand the patch flush without sanding through the patch?
@Rogue_wave2 жыл бұрын
You feather the edges to make it look flush, then add another layer of resin and feather that too. It’s never actually flush, but to the human eye it appears like it is.

Do you sand a dip in the filler before applying cloth? what stops you sanding all cloth off?
@Rogue_wave3 жыл бұрын
No dip needed. The fiberglass patch is always going to be a tiny bit elevated in the end, but shouldn't be noticeable if you are using 4oz cloth. The key is to sand the edges of the fiberglass flush with the board, without sanding into the original fiberglass.

@Rogue_wave3 жыл бұрын
Great question!! If it's a big hole, do NOT fill it with resin of any kind. Doing so will melt more of the foam! Instead, fill the hole with "Great Stuff Gaps and Cracks Insulating Foam" (can buy at home depot or on amazon). Sand it to the shape you need, apply a patch of heavy duty (6+ oz) fiberglass and epoxy resin. Once it cures, it should be rigid (you should not be able to make an indent by pushing your finger into it) if its not, apply another patch of fiberglass and resin.

Eh I disagree. Solarez almost always cracks overtime. Not to mention color matching white is a pain in the ass and not always exact, especially with resin tinted board. If your board is glassed clear your almost always going to notice even if it’s color-matched because the tint is above the glass. IMO a large patch where there is a lot of foam missing is always a necessity.
