U can still see it but still good job

[@Paiadakine]

I could do that repair at home. Maybe this is the base repair and it costs more to make it like new.

[@ashcheeks1]

just need a paint job

[@keed333]

it will have wax on it anyways 🙃

[@Paiadakine]

@@keed333 looks like the repair was on the bottom. No wax.

[@keed333]

@@Paiadakine even better :) in the water where you don’t see it

[@tronsenallen9829]

It is super hard to match different shades of white.

[@joshlentz]

Awesome. There's a boat hull repair trick: reverse the order of the fiberglass mat circles (small on top) for better contact at the edges

[@simplistic_nick468]

Oh man I would thrive in these repairs. Working on composite helicopter blades to make it look like no bullet holes were ever there.

[@KrowKnow]

Sick

[@tldrttyl]

Excellent tutorial. This is a highly functional and professional looking job in the surfboard world. If you want to go crazy with color matching as if this is a car, knock yourself out. I’d personally rather spend that extra time surfing.

Good as new and possibly even stronger.

Did adding 2 layers of cloth raise the surface much?

Forget it, use bondo.

[@southernstingray2743]

Never had a hardware shop big enough n close enough to tackle that job

[@raenenava925]

Just fixed and put some sticker

[@DelCalloway]

sucks all that work and still see the damaged area

[@williamhanley7031]

Never knew there was so many steps to do it the right way. I just do one stage and call it done. That's a lot of steps to take to do it right.

[@ginkgobaumchen3619]

I have a question: My Mix of hardener and Resin, won‘t get hard. I have to do a 2:1 mix but it wont get hard. It looks like u do it from feeling

[@BendheimBoards]

This is polyester resin that uses a catalyst. You must be using epoxy resin which is 2 parts resin and 1 part hardener. It should harden with that ratio

[@capodad2u]

White silicone caulk and an ice cube to smooth. Not as pretty but good temp fix.

[@tylarnascar5520]

Nice work mate chaa brah 👍💯

[@max-yg3zr]

“Now you’ve gotta resin the harden”

[@eddiedemayo934]

Lololol

"any grade of the sandpaper" my favorite ❤️ 🛍️

[@iron0xide974]

Patch is visible. Not that good of a job.

[@Jim-fe2xz]

60 years ago in the 7th grade all the guys wanted to prove they knew more about cars than the next guy. Now that trait seems to be everywhere! Your repair is not only water tight but light weight and structurally sound. Well done!

[@BendheimBoards]

Thank you!

[@DebbiDePalma]

That many types of sandpaper? 😭 I only have 80 grit😮

[@minorGroove9]

Is it a “huge gash” or a “ding”? I’m confused.

[@kamakazecrxsi85]

I can still see it. If u was in a body shop you would be re doing it

[@pugjoe3915]

Good thing it’s a surf board and not a car

[@glocksp80smd]

I still see a circle

Wow gr8 job done

[@BendheimBoards]

🤙

[@melody3741]

Couldn’t there be water inside it?

[@BendheimBoards]

give it a few days to air dry out before repairing

[@TimSteiert-w2c]

How much time you needed for fixing?

[@alexcrenshaw4634]

probably in Newport

[@alexcrenshaw4634]

dude got ran over

[@marissagilliam8304]

That was amazing

[@timwannell6477]

damn good job. wish I could have some guidance whilst repairing so I don't cock up so much haha the bain of my life

[@freshsaltyfries5078]

For epoxy resin application can use micro balloons as my filler large ding in my paddle board foam is eps and do I need to purchase a Epoxy resin sanding for the final hot quote?

[@SingTodayi]

I don't understand why I just watched many of these useless videos. I'll let you go read some encyclopedias.

[@williamhanley7031]

Would some consider that to many coats. I don't know. I know your the pro.

[@karlringer2648]

Not very good. Not a very good patch

[@SammyHelsper]

When I do the repairs for customers I use carbon as a top layer just for 😊 fun

[@nicscharing]

Your portions are so wasteful, why do you use that much material?

[@SantiagoSedlacek]

I have a question! I did some research but I didn’t find a proper answer yet. So I want to have a lavander colored surfboard so badly. But the ones I find online are a bit pricey. I’ve worked with resin before and all of that. Butttt I’ve never donde coloring. There are a few surfboard for sale a good price in decent condition. But I don’t understand the process of painting the board quite yet. Some people use spray paint. Others boat paint and as far as I understand the proper way to do it is with colored resin and polishing. Can you give me some advice on how the real painting process should be? If I go colored resin. Do I need to apply some fiber glass fabric too? Or only colored resin and sanding and polishing?thanks I’m advance. Any information would be highly appreciated 🤍

[@nickdovgi]

I dont know anything about surfboards but you shouldnt have to add any fiber glass if you're just painting it

[@fatasdat]

Thats alittle too much catalyst bro. Nice job tho

[@fatfuzzypotato6113]

It doesn’t matter just effects cure time he probably wanted it to kick off sooner that what they had on the can I do it all the time for corvette stuff

[@FinkyStingers-fr2jq]

you’re doing it wrong..

[@xsvrrx]

looks like an armpit stain

[@marklurie5905]

hello, what is this white powder? how long does resin take to dry?

[@lastknownwhereabouts]

Fiberglass dust, comes with repair kits. Few hrs to dry.

[@tottihelin]

I thought that the polyester resin will melt the eps core.

[@misterlode0]

What about flextape ?

[@marcelguarachi]

Did you add something to the resin to make it sand able?

[@williambrewer855]

You can sand mostly every material

Nice explanation.

[@niconine268]

Sick bru

[@ladraode9dedos409]

Good Job, but you did the patches wrong, you have to put the bigger fiberglass first, otherwise you Will unnecessarily cut the fibers and Will lose strenght.

[@SammyHelsper]

You should tell this to all those aviation maintenance manual creators see how far you get🤣

[@ikramrza6031]

Super

[@slimycat534]

You can still see it but it's much much better than the dink and with the ding being gone you'll be able to Surf properly without having any missed movements or issues or breaking so I say you did I would say about a 92% good job if you wanted to go step further you could have also done a few coats of paint and lacquer and Overcoat make sure that it's all good and good but that would also take a lot longer but it would also go into a better quality but any fix is better than no fix

[@guyshred3949]

Will be yellowed out in a year

[@Odhege8262]

I’ll take a pee spot over tossing the board. Fuck fashion function first

[@mikayla_collie]

What did you just call me!?

[@braydenh190]

Yeah now my surfboard is heavy af on one side

[@BendheimBoards]

Better than waterlogged alternative

[@raymari7658]

How do you handle stress cracks ? Huge wave flexed my longboard. Takes in some water.

[@BendheimBoards]

Sand down and re-glass the area. Especially if it’s not water tight

[@deano43]

Alternatively, say a shark attacked you and keep the scratch. Its way cooler .

[@sk8nchill52]

Fuck just buy a new surfboard at this point

[@aes_ltd]

didn’t guess the color, but it’s so good

[@EricB90]

Looks trash 🗑

[@onshore1ft]

Way over the top. Could have just filled that and sanded.

[@danielbonner8309]

No that is the correct way. If not glassed the fill will crack and fail.

[@AtlanticCanadianAstronomy]

Show your work lmao. Still see where u did repair. Not a great result.

[@BendheimBoards]

The goal is a water tight repair which is what this is

[@tldrttyl]

Looks like a stellar repair job to me

[@jarrodkunjka]

Fukit New board‼️

[@niksri412]

Just buy a new one and scrap this
