This is a video taken from my website going over the process of fiberglassing a wooden surfboard. For more wooden surfboard videos go here: / periodicsurfco
Hey guys, this video was originally recorded for my surfboard business but I figured I'd post it here as well because it may be of interested to other makers!
I have a project where i should create a materiel based on glass fiber and i choosed to work on a surfboard and with all the that i have seen on youtube your video is the best!
Good help. If there is less length folding under the board then you won’t get many wrinkles in the cloth. So 20 mil or 30 mil overlap on cloth. I found on my first craft that there was folds everywhere because there was so much cloth. I worked it down as I went along to a few wrinkles.
.....all well explained apart that "epoxy is less toxic than polyester". Epoxy got much better mechanical properties, can be used on eps blanks, got better wetting properties of fibers so it saturates fibers much faster.... But it is far more toxic than polyester. See the health toxicity advice expecially on the hardner drum. Less smell doesn't mean less toxicity. Take care.
A joy to watch your videos Jord. But, where did you go? Always inspiring and I admire your imagination to keep coming up with great ideas and sharing your knowledge. Well done. One Handed Maker - Australia
Guys I'm a professional surfboard glasser, the laps have to be super saturated for the best possible result. And polyester resin is so much easier to work with than epoxy
but dosent polyester eat through the foam? (this has happened to me). To be honest I would never try again with polyester unless you can tell me the trick for choosing the right one. I live in the Balearic Islands, and have a very limited supply of materials.
EPS foam is more sensitive to hot temperature than PU. Poly resin gets hotter than Epoxy. If you have an EPS foam board you have to use Epoxy resin. If you have PU foam you should be able to use poly or Epoxy resin. I hope that helps.
Hey Jord. KInda went away when you switched to the vlog format but had every intention of coming back when you started the projects again but realized I'm still subscribed but didn't click the notice bell icon. Thought I'd check in and see what you were up to. I think the last vid I saw was the giant sign rebuild. Surfboards huh? Very nice. I'm sure they are the same excellent Jord quality. You are quite the industrious young man. Ellen still around? You guys made a cute couple. I'll have to watch some back episodes and catch up. Happy Holidays.
Very helpful vid. What be the desired air temperature to work this so that the epoxy does not set up too fast? Also about how much time you have to work the epoxy resin before it starts to set?
Very good and informative video! I have some questions I'll hope you can answer. How long do you wait from your lamination coat to your hot coat? Do you sand it before hot coating? And do you put in the leash plug before or after the lamination coat? Thanks =)
Is this start with a stirafoam board. I just bought a board that just all stirafoam so thats why i want to know if i can just follow this video and put the fiberglass right over top. Great how to video btw
Impressive channel. It's clear your followers love what you do. I sent you an email and would love to hear your expert opinion on what I'm building and if it has any merit.
I'm glassing homemade wake skates that have a very sharp and narrow edge along the bottom of the rail, cannot get the fiber glass to fold over that edge to where the lap should be, any suggestions?
The first thing that comes to mind would be trying a cloth that is a 0/90 biaxial cloth rather than a weave as this are much better for draping over sharp edges, but also it may be the cloth weight your using may be too much for that edge... without seeing it, its hard to say though
@@JordsWoodShop Thanks for the reply, that is certainly part of the problem. Where I live there are only two available cloth weights, one is a heavy woven cloth and the other is basically tissue weight, which will take the edge but in the end doesn't hold up to the punishment. I did layer yesterday and brought the heavy weight out to the edge, and I'm going to try a tissue layer over that and over the rail??? and see what happens.
@@mo-ni I saw him at the local shops and got to chat with him. He hasn't uploaded in a while I thought you wondered what happened to him??? Doesn't matter who I am... just another viewer.

Are you still alive?
I hate when a good channel that I like just disappears. 🤔

What happened? Where did you go? Are you ok? Will we get an update video?

You taught me a lot today. Thanks so much! May you have a Happy & Prosperous New Year.

What happened?! We're all worried. Used to love your videos.

Kinouille K Do you know if XPS foam would do good with poly resin?
@@clarabrooks7984 Unfortunately I do not know. Best of luck.
Miss your vids bud! Hope you're doing well.
We miss you Jordan
Great video, thanks for all the tips!

How you doing, Man, miss your videos!
8:30 Preach it! We've all tried and we've all failed, haha
Great advice. Put your hands in your pockets and WALK AWAY!! :-)

Hi, great job !!!
How long do you have to wait before cutting the tape after glassing?
Will fibreglassing add to better flotation?
There isn't a choice. For it to be usable, it has to be glassed or else the foam will just get destroyed in a matter of seconds
@@shaneculler590 huh? I thought the board is made from wood...

yes its the same procedure for a foamy.

Can it be painted?
A pity, you can not see anything from you anymore

Whats up with Jord?
I saw him the other week, he is going alright. I miss his videos and hope he comes back one day.
@@Mitledesigns What do u mean ''I saw him" who the fu.k are you?

Where are you? OK?
Please can you put the option to translate to Spanish.

Woodglut has a very large project base.
Woodglut has a lot of designs to choose from.
I know you can find solutions to this problem in the Stodoys plans.
