Having no prior experience with glass, resins, qcell, etc. I have successfully replaced multiple fin plugs, fixed dings, tears, etc on all three of my family's boards just by watching your videos. Love your style, keep making these videos!
Yes, it's the environment, temperature, moisture issue. Both Epoxy or PU will react different to what's happening in the environment. keep up the good work
You're an artist! Definitely learned alot to attempt a DYI from your videos. If I screw up, then I'll come crying to you and ask for your professional help!
My wife plays with epoxy, and she gets that cloudy effect when she pours during a rainy day or when it's really humid. She combats it by setting a fan up right next to her pour that blows away from her project. Works 50% of the time.
Hello brother! Greetings from Costa Rica (but Im argentinian 😂) here is a sugestión: in argentina is very comun go to the paint shop with a sample of the paínt (in this case a piece of the broke coat) and in this way they recreate the same colorway, i hope that can help you!
Make sure you are mixing good, do not over catalyst the hot coat and do not play to much with brush when hot coating , also make sure brush is dry, not rest of acetone
That is not "clouding due to humidity" its the wax in your sanding resin rising but then sliding off of some spots leaving you with laminating resin which is a pain to sand because it remains tacky. Take care not to over-catalyze and dont keep brushing it out. Just the bare minimum brushing then step back and let it lay down and flow out.
@@Goomer My take: no board that gets regular use will last forever anyway. Still plenty of life left in her as long as the guy doesn't take her out in big waves.
@@Rogue_wave ut if you let those delams go they will just get bigger, everytime you step on it you will expand it, fix it now and you won't. My favorite board is a 64 Hobie.
Nice job!! Learning a lot from you 😌🤙 I have a question...What is the difference between paint and then fibergalss OR first fiberglass and then paint...I see people doing this and that and a bit confused what to do when... trying to fix a few family boards
Fiberglass over the paint = permanent and is definitely the best way to go if you have the option. The only boards you can’t do this on are surftech’s.
So you sanded before applying the spray paint from the gun, once the paint is applied did you glass directly over top of it or did you need to scuff up the painted areas for adhesion?
How low do you usually sand the q cell mix down to before glassing on the fiberglass? I assume the q cell mix is 1 or 2mm below the surface to compensate for the fiberglass thickness?
Jack jack chang...poor guy. Just a question. On the top of the board its kind of yellowish. I assume UV damage. Anyway it can be made prestine white again? Spray paint?
i keep having this problem after i sand the laminating coat before the fill coat that the color of my sandpaper gets into the repair, is that because i use bad sandpaper? or am i not letting the laminating coat set for long enough?
Yes that’s always frustrating. Hand sanding laminating resin is always a disaster- only good way I’ve found does it, is with very course sandpaper (grinding disk) spinning very fast (pneumatic tool). I used to put the grinding disk attachment in my drill which also worked.

Amazing, glad I can help.
Don’t put him out of business! Lol
The hot coat cloudiness could be a ambient moisture issue. I had that problem before when working on my board during rainy season.
Thanks Sandro
I was wondering before it showed the issue if any changes would need to be made when it started raining out due to humidity

Repairing the tails on a retro fish is like taking on the final boss in Legends of Zelda. I applaud your skill!
Haha the Gannondorf of surfboard repairs
👏🏻👏🏻Who needs yoga after watching this?
Epic bro. Got a board that needs this attention. In in NZ so will give it a whirl myself. Thanks for sharing your craft. Legend
That cardboard trick is next level but so simple. Love it

Interesting, thanks!
Watching your videos gave me inspiration to start shaping my own boards
So satisfying

Thank you- I’m thinking I’ve been over catalysing
Nice one again!
Crazy good! Artist! But… we need more Dave face 😘
YeAaaaah new video ! Thanks man 🤘🏻

Thank you! I think I’m shooting it too hot
Great work ! 👍🏄♂
Noice man. How ya been? Where ya been? Need my Surf board AMSR repair vids😂
New one coming soon!
this exact thing happend to me
ROFL the goop post must grow😂
Top job 💪🔝
Great Job, especially on the color matching. Did you fix the delam on the deck?
No the customer didn’t want to pay for all the delams to get fixed (there were a few)
@@Rogue_wave Might as well be a wall hanger then, won't last. Too bad.

@@Goomer I used to ride a log that was entirely delaminated from tip to tail. Rode it like that for years.
The humidity in the air from the rain may cause your hot coats to do that?

No just needs to be totally dry! Make sure it’s water based paint as well.

Just sand it flush and feather your patch of fiberglass well

I’ve thought about this a lot. If you invented something that removed the yellowing you could sell the hell out of it!
Hi, what kind of powder do you use for dings and what do you mix it with?

@@Rogue_wave thanks for the help, ill look into that
Should I use oil-based paint or water-based paint when painting again?
Water based!
@@Rogue_wave thanks
69th like, nice.
