Resin Tint Lamination with Cut Laps - Surfboard Glassing [Part 1 of 7]

Laminating a surfboard with a resin tint and cut laps. I used 4 oz E-Cloth with a deck patch and tail patch. Glassed with polyester resin and a brown resin tint made by mixing red, yellow and blue tints. Cleanup sanding with a 2” 40 grit sanding disk. Surfboard dimensions are 6' x 20.5 x 2.5. I've only glassed a handful of boards and am not an expert but this glassing process works for me.

[@kgb10987]

Thanks for all your videos! They've been super helpful! I've been having trouble with 3m blue masking tape with bleeding lines, or removing some the sealer on EPS boards. What tape are you using or prefer?

[@wlombardin]

Hi Tanner ! Great job ! I looked at all your videos and your boards are very clean and the shapes look good ! I was wondering what kind of product do you use to clean dust after the quick sanding at 40 ? Essence F ? There is no possible reaction with the hot-coat ? And a little last one, do you put a little bit of styrene when you do your stratification to make it easier for sanding or is it better not to ? Then you for your answer and have fun with your new board !!

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks man! I clean the board with denatured alcohol before moving onto the hot coat. Works great and won’t create any reactions. I use wax paper on my stands when I flip over the board to cut the laps since the board hasn’t fully cured and is still tacky. Once fully cured I take them off to sand.

[@michaelpadilla3849]

love your videos man. I'm about to glass my first board and was wondering how long are you supposed to wait when taking the tape off for the cutlaps? are you supposed to wait until its completely dried and hard or only wait long enough where its not completely dry as to take off the tape?

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks! You want to start cutting the fiberglass cloth after it’s kicked and is no longer tacky. For me it’s usually 2-3 hours after. If you wait until it hardens you won’t be able to cut the fiberglass and it will be a nightmare. Check out the instruction guide to glassing a surfboard on greenlightsurfsupply.com

[@JACKBUCKINGHAM]

How much resin do you recommend using for a 6ft4 fish 6ounce on bottom and top with a couple deck patches? Cheers!

[@BendheimBoards]

[@thomasstock2328]

Roughly how long did you wait to flip it to cut the lap line? I've heard not too early but also don't wait until it becomes rock hard. Looking for a rough timeline. Thanks!!

[@Boom-oq5yj]

How long do you wait to cut the cutlap? And if you don't wait until it's fully cured, how do you flip it so that the curing part isn't on the stand?

[@BendheimBoards]

I flip it to cut the laps between 1.5 to 2 hours for poly resin. Soft enough to cut but hard enough to flip it over.

[@markk717]

Great video. How can you be sure you’re not cutting through the first layer of glass (through to the foam) on the second cut lap?

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks. It’s too hard to cut through once fully cured so it’s not a problem.

[@chrisathan4293]

Wow ! Love this video , Great job ! love your commitment ! Will a cut lap make a board heavier compared to an air brush painted board ?

[@davidbrisbane822]

Lovely work and great vid. Can I ask two questions: when you do the hot/sanding coats, do you normally add tint to that resin too, or is it just clear. Also, apart from the deck and tail patches, do you have just the one layer of glass? I am wondering how that compares to boards glassed with two layers on top, one on bottom. Thanks.

[@BendheimBoards]

The hot coat goes on clear. Two layers on top and one layer on bottom is the standard. I just cut a V in the first layer on the deck to give it a little more style and the tail patch on the bottom is for the fins.

[@davidbrisbane822]

@@BendheimBoards Cool, thanks for the reply. Can I also ask what proportions of tint and catalyst you use for polyester resin? I've had small batches that take hours to start hardening.

[@kirkgillen4969]

is that grinder you used a standard drill bit attachment? also what did you clean the rails with after grinding? will it work on epoxy? i am about to do my first resin tint and this video was so helpful. thank you!

[@BendheimBoards]

I use a shop polisher with a medium pad and a soft pad attachment from Foam EZ. I use denatured alcohol to clean the fiberglass after sanding. I haven’t worked with epoxy but I’m pretty sure it works for both. Read the steps on glassing from greenlightsurfsupply, they cover epoxy and talk about cleaning the laps. Best of luck!

[@dantesparda1326]

What type of resin is that please? , Very informative thanks

[@rodrigo9015]

Hey Tanner, You have really helped me, can I ask what kind of paper you are using?

[@BendheimBoards]

Glad to hear it! It’s rice paper.

[@6to6surf4]

[@smoemannmann]

What grit sanding disc attachment for your drill do you use after your initial laminate

[@BendheimBoards]

I think it’s a 40 grit disk.

[@Boom-oq5yj]

How do you cut the fiber so it’s not overlapping? Assuming you don’t want the different colored rails?

[@BendheimBoards]

Do a pigmented color rather than a tinted color. Or do the bottom, then a deck inlay of the same color, then a clear deck wrap.

[@juantarjan]

sick vid man! What cloth did you used ? 2 lays of 4oz ? Thank for helping us, im about to glass my first boad! A 6' retro fish!

[@BendheimBoards]

Awesome! Yes two layers of 4oz on the deck and one layer on bottom plus a 4oz tail patch. Good luck man!

[@jonno2130]

On the deck, are there two layers of 4oz on top of the patch? Or just one? Thanks

[@BendheimBoards]

Just two 4oz layers total. So the patch and then the full length layer.

[@bellpaleale]

What really sets this board off are the resin pin lines.

@@BendheimBoards Excellent! I want something like that too for what I'm doing and I hadn't thought of that as a way to make it happen. I'm making a hollow core SUP and only need one layer of fiberglass. Another piece of fabric makes it much easier than what I was trying to come up with. Thanks!

Hey, I'm making my first surfboard inspired in your red fish and I would like to print a logo but I don't know which type of print to use, if it works with normal paper or just rice paper Yours look fine tho Keep up with the great vids, here 2 watch them all and leave a like ahah Peace🤙🏾

[@BendheimBoards]

Awesome thanks man! You have to use rice paper, don’t use normal paper. My printer feeds rice paper without problems but others have to tape it onto a normal sheet for it to feed through. Best of luck!

[@angeloalves9039]

@@BendheimBoards thank you so much much man, keep it up🤙🏾

[@iamkian]

Question. When you cut the tape away (example at kzbin.info/www/bejne/sImmgpmOabuAoJI ) how deep do you cut? Is it till the 1st layer of cloth. Or into the foam?

[@BendheimBoards]

It’s fine if you cut into the foam a little on the first side. 2nd side you’ll only cut through the layer you just laminated and not the hardened layer beneath

[@iamkian]

@@BendheimBoards Thank you. My dad and I are at the stage of laminating our e-foil board. This will be our 3rd board, but we never did a cut lap till now.......

Hi, what kind of paper do you use for logo?

[@BendheimBoards]

Rice paper

[@rotsen995]

Did you use rice paper for logo paper?

[@BendheimBoards]

Yup!

[@mavisevda]

why the polyster resin did not melt the foam?

[@BendheimBoards]

Polyester resin is compatible with Polyurethane foam. If it were EPS foam it would melt.

[@franciscojosegarciagarcia4124]

Hello friend, have you mixed the resin with paraffin for lamination? Thank you

[@BendheimBoards]

No just laminating resin with catalyst

[@franciscojosegarciagarcia4124]

@@BendheimBoards And is it possible to sand where the folds of the fiber are, in tail, nose and transition? I thought that since it did not have paraffin resin, it was very difficult or impossible to sand that. Thank you

[@BendheimBoards]

@@franciscojosegarciagarcia4124 Yes you will need to grind down the laps where the fiberglass cloth overlaps. And yes, it will gum up your sandpaper, but your not supposed to add paraffin in the lamination. Only when doing the hotcoat. You could add a little sanding resin before grinding to avoid this but I've never done that.

how much resin did u used in grams for the bottom layer ?

[@BendheimBoards]

46 oz of resin per side. Google translates that to 1,304 grams.

[@michaelvuto6648]

Your videos have been such an awesome resource for me! I've got an epoxy board under my belt but will be tackling poly resin for the next one. To add to this, what amount of catalyst are you using (1%?), at what temp, and what's the rough working time for your lams to get everything done before it gels? Thanks and keep up the killer work!

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks man glad to hear it! Greenlight has mixing ratios that are what your looking for on their website: greenlightsurfsupply.com/tbendheim

[@michaelvuto6648]

@@BendheimBoards thanks, yea I've seen all that! Was mostly curious on your working time, don't want to get stuck with it gelling.

[@BendheimBoards]

I’d say about 15 minutes before it starts to gell. Work fast because it’s a nightmare if it starts to kick before you’ve lapped your rails. I’ve heard that you have less working time with poly when compared to epoxy. My temperature fluctuates between 75 and 85 degrees in my workspace.
