Surfboard Glassing [Retro Fish]

[@aarondiaz2506]

i love the tape approach to make a perfect line in the glassing, my first work was in a surf factory and we rarelly used that approach. My boss was really experienced (was like 50 and started at 14) and he didn't need it to do the job, but i love how the tape leaves a perfect line.

[@KerbsHI]

Just cut a 9’2” longboard down and delaminated it ( sorta old and needed some repairs anyway ), going to use your videos for help throughout the process. Thanks for the content!

[@BendheimBoards]

Cool man, good luck!

[@chadhamel-smith7893]

Anyone who says a surfboard is to much money needs to watch videos like this

[@BendheimBoards]

🙌

[@Ghostrob2023]

That is an amazing fish surfboard and the design on it looked so cool. Thank you for posting the video.

[@BendheimBoards]

🤙

[@MrEmreoz]

Your attention to detail is so therapeutical, even a perfectionist like me it is so relaxing, I definitely calm down and have chance to empty my mind during the process. Bravo really! I would be really appreciated if I would have a chance to ride one of your boards one day. Being a surfer and experiencing the ride on these beautiful waves is one of my greatest dreams. I wish everything settles down as it is and that it would come true! Have a wonderful day!

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks man, love hearing this!

[@rodrigosanchezgrupounion5673]

Totally agree with this person!! wonderful job

[@dylansmyth]

Classy as, dude. Nice work

[@jim5549]

Yet another very fine job sir!

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks again!

[@crishermann8265]

I love surfboards this video was amazing great job

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks!

[@gas3d]

Beautiful work! Congrats!!!

[@HikaruPT]

Another amazing work! Now we just need a video of you ripping on the new board 😃🤙🤙

[@BendheimBoards]

This one isn’t for me but wish it was!

[@JustinBerke]

Looks so good dang 🏆

[@imagocancun]

So nice

[@marcobarbosa6799]

Amazing!!

[@seanurbanczyk4049]

Cool man!

[@tomallen7699]

Tanner, think you could start another channel- ASMR if you pour & work the resin in at "normal" speed. Very relaxing to watch!

[@BendheimBoards]

Glad you like it and thanks for the suggestion!

[@gabeneug]

I fall asleep to these

[@helnorse]

nice work and really good skills....i shape them wooden 😉

[@HoStevie]

*Love it!* What are your thoughts on quad vs twin for fish boards?

[@BendheimBoards]

Both are fun. Quad has more drive but twin is the classic and looser. I like sliding some turns so twin is my preference.

[@paullescano34]

👏⚡👏

[@Johnny5yo]

Large sharks n whales be like tf. Scary monster fish. You sir are saving lives more ways than one

[@WaveWasters]

When can I try this board out looks super fun! 😛

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks man, you’ll have to ask my brother for it ha!

[@ralphlyons8020]

Nice board. Enjoy watching you do this. How long does it usually take from start to finish?

[@BendheimBoards]

Shaping takes about 3 hours but glassing a board will take me about 3 weeks

[@JJ-kv1vi]

Thanks for sharing, proper job, well done👌 Question- how do you make epoxy liquid so thin? Do you warm it up a bit?

[@MrMurrayl]

Beautiful board dude & some sick glassing skills, thanks so much for sharing.. I just have 3 questions as I'm busy hand shaping a fish in my garage for the summer waves in South Africa... 1. What do you print your decals on to ensure they don't smudge when you glass over them? 2. What toe in did you use for the fins? 3. What polishing compounds do you normally use after wet sanding? Thanks again!

[@BendheimBoards]

I use rice paper printed on an ink-jet printer and i've also used boardlams. I use the Terry Senate fin marker. I think this board was 1.25" from the rail with a 1/8" toe. I use Mcguires polishing compound - works ok.

[@MrMurrayl]

​@@BendheimBoardsawesome thanks so much! 🤙

[@mwoods3]

That board looks awesome! I was always told to install the fins after lamination on colored boards, but yours turned out clean and crisp. It’s the first time I’ve seen that fin insertion tool. I’ve been using a mallet but that one looks way sleeker. Curious about what spray you use in the end?

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks, you can also do it after lamination. Fin remover is super helpful with the FCS 2 fins. I used SprayMax 2x Clear Glamour.

[@Shrednaught]

Either you're 10ft tall or that board isn't a 9'2 haha. Typo in the dimensions dude. Sick board and red goes faster.

[@BendheimBoards]

Ha good catch, just fixed it. Thanks man, it’s 5’4

[@martindeschamps9856]

Hey, I love your videos and know I also build mine with your tutos 😅 but what is the spray you use at the very end to make it bright?

[@BendheimBoards]

I used SprayMax 2x Clear Glamour

[@Rich2487]

Hey! Great work! What grit do you use to start the sanding of the first and second coat?

[@BendheimBoards]

Either 80 or 120 grit after hot coat

[@matiascrisaffulli1663]

Great video man, whats the final Spray?

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks! The spray brand is in the video description

[@julienguinard4309]

Hello First of all thank you for all these great videos. I would like to know how to calculate the amount of resin needed whether for the stratum or the glass? and secondly, are the quantities of resin the same whether it is polyester or epoxy? Thank you in advance for your reply.

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks. Epoxy requires less resin than poly. You can use the resin charts on Greenlight Surf Supply’s website.

[@calvinpedroli4501]

What is in the black little cup when you made the fine line. Is that just paint or pigment mixed with resin?

[@BendheimBoards]

Pigment with resin

[@Cuisinenomade1]

Hey i have a perhaps unrelated question to the video but i figured i have more chance of you sering tjis comment here. For a repair on a PU polyester resin board, should i use laminating resin or can i use epoxy with equal results? Thanks, love the channel, and the inspiration. i would love to shape boards one day!

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks man! Either should work but if you have poly laminating resin I’d use that to match the boards original construction.

[@youyiulian4316]

I have a question about delamination, i noticed u didn't install vent plug , it's not necessary?

[@kmalraja4207]

🤙🤙🤙🤙Amazing 🤙🤙🤙🤙🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🌊🌊🌊🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️

[@blakelund9644]

What is that tool called at 0:19 ?

[@BendheimBoards]

Rail marker by Foam EZ

[@Mebbi83]

Very good job! But...sure it is 9.2??

[@BendheimBoards]

Sorry typo’s been fixed. It’s 5’4

[@paulaaay]

Do most shapers use a clear spray at the end or just wet sand (or buff for those shiny longboards) and call it a day? What’s the benefit of the 3x coats of spray?

[@BendheimBoards]

Either can be done. Epoxy is more difficult than poly resin to get a gloss finish and the spray gloss just makes it easier

[@Dzjiefoils]

@@BendheimBoards what kind of spray paint do you use?

[@BendheimBoards]

@@Dzjiefoils any clear acrylic gloss. for this board I used 2k clear glamour spray max

[@robbunting4682]

Hey man I’m wondering how the spray gloss holds up over time. I got the same stuff and want to use it. Would you recommend? Thanks

[@board_farm1309]

What’s the measurements on the fins. I’m doing a twin fin myself and struggling with the measurements of it

[@BendheimBoards]

9” up from tail, 1 1/4” from rail with 1/8 Toe, 5 degree cant

[@bencarr605]

Did you finish that with a clear coat pray paint?

[@rodrigomacedo4283]

Hello Bendheim! Great seeing your videos, I am starting to build my own surfboard. I am just having a bit of trouble finding templates. Do you normally design your templates in a shaping software or do you know of any standard library? I have used blending curves, and I have Clark Foam catalog. Blending curves I dont find it that accurate and the clark foam catalog doesnt the have the shape I am thinking. 6' 8'' egg. Thank you and good work :D

[@BendheimBoards]

I really like blending curves but if you need it more custom you can use akushaper

[@rodrigomacedo4283]

@@BendheimBoards Yes, blending curves is good for outlines, but there is no match between outlines and rocker templates. I guess I will just draw one after printing out the outline template. Thank you!

[@lluisfeno7552]

What's that spray you're using at the end?

[@gregoryh4601]

Awesome work TB how your new Shop doing? TB Have you ever try Peel Ply on your Surfboards to help in Sanding?

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks, never tried peel ply

[@ansborromeo7470]

is the SprayMax also epoxy based?

[@יצחקגריאני-ת2ב]

how many liters of epoxy have you used?

[@asce2273]

where is the video of shaping this fish? thank you.

[@remediocasero1735]

How much resin does it take to glass it? How many liters?

[@mrpopular6185]

With that glass schedule I'd say just over 2 litres including sand coats.

[@greatheathen]

Why not epoxy the tail and top bottom layers first?

[@BendheimBoards]

Bottom is always laminated first

[@greatheathen]

@@BendheimBoards right, I mean when layed the first layer on the tail, you the layed the second without applying epoxy to the first. You did the same on the top. I am saying that is unusual.

[@mwoods3]

I think it’s actually pretty common to laminate multiple layers at the same time unless you’re doing something fancy. The resin gets through both layers pretty well

[@BendheimBoards]

@@greatheathen Layers are always done at the same time rather than individually. Saves time and would waste resin to do them separately.

[@RedRussel]

I wonder how much of the board budget goes to just masking tape 😂

[@BendheimBoards]

Yeah man, lots of expensive tape
