@@JimmyxMelanie thanks! Im sure you will at some point

Thanks! It was a lot of fun to do 🥳

Hahaha thank you! I appreciate all the engagement and views! And yes! Their boards look so sick! I was thinking about doing something similar to theirs but decided against it this time around. I couldn’t think of a good color combo , but maybe for the next one?

thank you!

It was such a cool experience! Not sure if I’ll ever get to experience that again.

@@JimmyxMelanie thanks! It was a new technique for me and it turned out pretty nice.

Oh cool! This is hard for me to imagine what you’re describing. Do you mean wrap it tightly around the pen with resin on it already? Then lay another layer down the rope like I did over the wrapped loop? Also when you say less “butt crack” do you mean under the loop where the rope is lying against the board? The roving I bought was around $25 for 3100ft! I think that’s a really good deal!

holy cow thats a great deal absolutely!!! that is indeed what i mean by butt crack so for the first go down if you yes wet out the rope first then wrap it once all the wayaround the pencilthen put it down and do as you did it helps to keep the hole more circular

@ I’ll have to keep that in mind the next time I try it! How many strands do you usually use of fiberglass?

the amount of strands depends on the size board and loop im trying to make! i would say that i typically eyeball it and dont count strands its like making spaghetti hahaha ive also heard of people just pulling strands from thick "volan" glass cloth for the same purpose of leash loops and glass on fillets

@ so there’s no industry standard for amount of strands (phew). The bigger the board, the thicker the loop then? That’s good to know. I haven’t used volan glass yet, but maybe here in the not so distant future 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you! When you say “smaller leash loop”, do you mean less wide, less roving, or both? I was trying to make it smaller but the roving didn’t want to lay any flatter or closer to the pen! I’m hoping to sand it down smaller and see if that’ll do the trick! 😅

@@paul_s-eo How can I send you a photo? We used to use 'fiberglass rope,' but Fiberglass Hawaii no longer stocks it. Most 'laminators here use 6oz cloth and take out strands to make any size loop they desire. I

@ if you have Instagram you can send it to me on “Paulzeye surfboards”

Awesome! I’ll have to try that on the next leash loop! Thanks for the tip 🍻

@@chillmurrayyy hahaha exactly

Stoked you found it helpful! Thanks for watching 🙏🏽 Hoping to have more helpful tips in the near future 🍻

It is most often a good time indeed! It does have its not so rad days too 🫠

@@invinciblesummer4114 thanks you! Thanks for watching 🍻

@@fadedpython9877 it’s definitely starting to drop in temp around here but that day was a nice sunny day. Probably going to see less and less of those until March or April! Definitely a very scenic walk in and overall scenic beach!

Chyew!

Chyew! Thanks for watching Scott! Come say “hi” if you ever see me out there 🍻

The hike into shorties is so beautiful 🤩

@@JimmyxMelanie it almost felt like summer out there yesterday!

Chyyyeeewww! Thanks for watching Dave!

Thank you! I'm using two part PU foam rated at 3#s from www.uscomposites.com/foam.html cheers!

Hahaha! Thanks for all the tips and the compliment! I really need to take seriously to not touch the board as often as I do without a barrier 😅 I’m trying to figure out how the pros get such a good sand and polish!

Hahaha I get it! I only recently became a fan and am enjoying the hunt more than anything!

Thanks! Happy to hear that!

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏🏽

Haha it does kind of look like that, doesn’t it?

Thank you! Just went for it and this is how it turned out 😬

Hey thanks! In general you want to make sure there’s full saturated of the fiberglass. If you have any gouges in the foam make sure you fill it or enough resin goes over it to fill it. There is also a filler you can apply before laminating, but I haven’t had great experience with it so I avoid that now. There’s also a comment below where he gave a top about cutting the fiberglass and dabbing it with resin! That also works well for futures fin box installation! Good luck!

Thank you! How’s the fly fishing going?

Thank you 🙏🏽

Thank you! 😊

Thank you 🙏🏽

I wish I could say it surfed as fun as it looks! Unfortunately, I learned a lesson not to upturn the rails - makes it really hard to engage the rails during turns! 🥲

I actually thinned out a paint on a different board and that faded to almost nothing from being in the sun on the roof rack for a couple of trips! I didn’t have any issues with the bonding for this one. I would just make sure the paint is fully dried and no spots that are caked on there before glassing!

@@paul_s-eo good to know, thanks! 🤙🏽

Yes, I would say pretty similar! I don’t think epoxy has a uv version, but there are different speeds at which the resin goes off! I recommend using the slow kick for the first go around! Cheers and good luck!

@@Surfmus I’d say it’s around 50-55F at any given time of the year 🙂‍↕️

@@Surfmus in in the same bus! I’ve taken it out 2x and it wasn’t in good surf! I’m going to have to take it out again soon! I hope it rides a bit better on a flatter but 4-5’ day!

Really??? That’s good to know. I was told that’s how you seal the blank before glassing an especially if it’s looking rough in places! I’ve seen big board companies doing that on RUclips and also my blank supplier recommended it (especially for eps)! I wonder if there’s a different compound that big board companies used especially formulated for surfboards 🤔 Thank you for your insight!

Very noice 😆

Thank you! You’re welcome

Use a clean brush, and also on the channels the brush makes it easier to set the cloth perfectly without wrinkles. How is the board riding?

Thank you! I will try to remember that on the next one!

Nice! I will try the brush next time on channels! I haven’t been out on it on a good day yet! The last time it was really fun! Goes to bottom really nicely!

Seems like a lot of work to do a double hot coat for a pin stripe, right? Can I do the pin stripe over the lamination using good tape?

@@paul_s-eo No, The tape can't penetrate the cloth, therefore it will bleed. In the video I didn't realized it was just clear coat over just the pin stripes. I thought you clear coated the whole board to avoid a gloss coat.

Yes I did just clear coat the stripe! Do you think if o let it gel a little longer before applying it would not run as much? I feel like I’ve seen do a decently clean pin line on the lamination. I’m also not to particular on perfection and if there’s a little bleed here and there I wouldn’t mind it!

@@paul_s-eo You will always see the square tiny bleed on the cloth because there is no tape that can penetrate it and make a fine line/curve. Remember the old video game with the low "bits" resolutions, the graphics look all square. That is how it's gonna look. Krylon UV is sold at Michael's and is the best clear coat I have used.

Maybe you can try and make one and see if it turns out better than the one I made? Mine didn’t turn out amazing haha

@@paul_s-eo thank you so much 🙏 you came Sri Lankan big market have surfboard

You bet! Thanks for watching my guy 🫡

Hey! Thank you! Glad I could be of some help 🍻
