I think what I like most about your channel is how thoughtful and methodical you are with your customer's valuable property. If I needed a repair done, I wouldn't call anyone else but you. 😎👍🏻
Cheers! The paranoia of breaking someone else's stuff is very real 😂 sometimes I still can't believe people trust me with their belongings. It's actually very flattering to be trusted with people's prized possessions
Very nice job! Making a repair as invisible as possible is the mark of a true craftsman!
Love your videos, mate. Always a joy to watch. I'm not a shaper, but I find your videos fascinating to watch.
One thing I did notice on your videos is that you can see the flickering of your lighting. Might be worth changing the shutter speeds based upon how many frames per second you are recoding and the frequency of the lighting. Then you won't see any flickering in your vids. Cheers. Yeeew.
Cheers Vincent!
Yes, someone else suggested I play with the frame rates too to avoid that light flickering. Will give that s go on the next one for sure!
My new favorite channel
Wow, thanks man. I will try my best to keep things going!
Really nice job! I have to replace one of my boxes in a couple days and this was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Great news, stoked you'd the video in time! Let me know how you get on!
Hey looks great! Polish work is excellent smart to feather up the board there for a consistent finish
Video quality is top as always
Its never easy to remove a box thats for sure
Yet you did such a good job you make it look easy
My question is this
Its my understanding we sand down to lamination fabric so the new repair lam we put down has something to strongly affix to. Here after putting in the box the overflow resin is squeegeed out over the previously sanded bottom showing fibers, thus messing up the nice fabric to fabric bond we worked to getting by sanding. Do you think this bond is worth fussing over? Or is it another area of ding repair that is a bit grey as to how important it is? Thanks for the great video and repair work
Gday Gabe,
Solid question! With epoxy it would be an issue for sure but the bonus with poly laminating resin is it keeps its stickiness after curing to allow lamination over the top and because it's wiped out so hard in the clean up process I don't see it as an issue. If in doubt though, you could certainly mask up to the route before installing the box and then remove that tape before lamination
Nice repair job!
The futures gig doesn't need to be secured to the board from moving around..?
The futures jig is pretty weighty so never had an issue with movement. I don't tape my fcs ones down either though because they are so small, the masking tape can actually get in the way of the routers base. Just slow and steady
Amazing job mate
Thanks for the video. Question. After putting in the expanding foam and sanding it flat. Did you lay a sheet of glass prior to using the router and jig. I think I heard you say you did, but didn’t see it in the video. If so, was it a 4 ounce sheet? Thanks
Yup, that's the one. Foam, sand, lam, hot coat, route, install, lam, hot coat, finish sand. That's with poly. Usually with epoxy, if there isn't significant damage to the original glass around the box then I'll skip the first laminate as it adds so much extra time to the job with epoxy curing times.
My God
Dude you are kinding me ...would never put a board on your hands to fix
Gave me chills..sorry for my honest opinion
Any reason in particular? You've offered an opinion but no reason? I think the results at this point speak louder than your opinion...
@@smallkinedings i think 30 years of my experience shaping boards and fixing boards for most of the world top surfers says alot
Welcome to visite me in Portugal and learn some new tecnics..at least to
Remove plugs
Ericeira custom surfboards
And sorry for my opinion..end result great job..keep on
what a wanker.. dudes got 1 video up & nothing about repairs.. talks cheap mate.
Mr. Small Kine, im sure you are thinking the same as what im thinking; “If blowing a Blank is so white, why cant we do the same pouring part A & B together for repairs”?…………….. is it possible to add a pigment to the liquid foam?
100% 😂 have asked a few foam guys about this but yet to find a good answer. Best one I found was "if you order in the quantity that blank manufacturers order in, anything is possible!"
Ha e tried tinting with limited success on White because of the base colour of parts A and B. Other, darker colours seem possible with limited results
sweet! best work!
Nice work 👍🏄
Cheers Teemu!
great job mate
great video, what brand of expanding foam did you use and what kind of polish do you recommend?
I use a local supplier not a particular brand. He supplies taxidermists around NZ. I do have a video dedicated to these foams which cover most of the FAQs
have you ever tried routing it out in one go with the one-pass-install routerbit?
Definitely works a treat straight into foam. It's a little tougher and rougher om the cutting bit going through fibreglass so I prefer to take a few passes. Although it's never happened before, I can also imagine the bit grabbing my repairs fibreglass funny and lifting it too which would piss me off 😂
Great video thanks
Pleasure man, hope it was helpful!
Can you tell me more about the expansion foam , where to buy ? What type is best ?
Sure! So it's a 2 part expanding Polyurethane foam. The ideal density is 56kg (they use LB in the states so you'll have to do the conversion if you're there). 64kg can be good for major repairs like snaps and large delams but 56kg is pretty bang on to a PU blank. You can either source it from a local PU foam manufacturer or, if you struggle to find the right density contact your local taxidermist and ask for their source as they seem to all use 56kg. I'll do a video on it this week when I'm back in NZ as I do get a lot of questions about it
Legend mate love the channel
Mate, have you tried to colour the resin, to make it more white?
You mean on this board or in general? This board is only white because the resin is clear and the foam shows through so tinting the resin in this boards case would look terrible, especially over black fin boxes.
I agree about false advertising (Futures). One pass my ass.
😂
