Hey, it's me again, it's very cool how you did that, I was always against laminated fins, because I am traveling a lot with not to much space, but especially on like a fish or a longboard it's still very nice. Just one thing: Why don't you like rout a little slot for the fin? Some little like 1cm deep slot, I think I would feel a bit more comfortable with the fin, because it's such a large fin wich is probably under some force. Anyway, very nice video again and thanks for all the tips and tricks

I’m doing this epoxy board right now that is a repair job from another repairman. He put the fin box in about 6° out from vertical. It’s a 10’ log with exaggerated bottom contours at the tail section, so squaring off the board was becoming a hassle at best. He was very adamant about having the new fin box installed dead perfect as he had already spent a bunch of money on the original repair just to get back a botched box after 3 months in the shop. My solution was to perfectly level the board on the racks, find center and put a vertical laser on the dummy fin to set the box. Worked like a charm…. The shit I do for the boys!! 😂 looks great to the eye as well so now I’ll move on with life. Another great video man! My #1 channel when I need some inspiration and knowledge! 🤙🏽

O dayum, sounds like the bro got the uncle Tony special! That is so annoying, I can't imagine ever letting a board go out with a crooked cntr box?!? I actually did the same thing a couple of months ago, my jig was ever so slightly out at the top end of the route and it looked OK but with a straight edge, by the time it traveled to the nose of the 9'6 board, it was waaaay off. Very annoying but the only choice is to take the hit, route it out and re do it. Lazer level is the way, I've often thought about buying one to be 100% sure!

These jobs happen pretty rarely and in between each glass on fin I do, I always see cool videos on how to do it, normally on instagram and think ''I'm gonna try that next time''. By the time next time comes around, I've forgotten what the technique is and who posted it so I end up doing it this way haha. The roving stage is tricky, especially keeping it tidy. I've seen some really cool techniques but I've forgotten them all! 😅

The outside skin of pour foam is like a smooth plastic nothing(resin, new foam) will stick to it. If you do multiple pours you need to abrade each pour before going over it. Do a sample test with some extra foam. You'll see it will not bond. Have you ever tried running your cloth on the bias 45/45 vs 0/90? The bias will turn the corner easier. 50% of the 0/90 is doing nothing, because its running parallel to the joint.

I did my second pour before the first had hardened so the skin had not yet developed. Definitely though, if left too long it needs to be sanded through the skin before anything can bond to it. Should have mentioned that in the video!

Gday rob, missed your comment somehow! Good man with the foam replacement. I've actually just had to change supplier myself, luckily I have a buddy close by who's a freak and loves doing taxidermy 😂 for that reason I cant actually provide you with a supplier at this point for 56kg foams. I can for 34kg and 64kg though (hes just stopped selling the 56kg this month). If you want this 56kg stuff though, Google your nearest taxidermist and ask them for their foam supplier, they all seem to use the 56kg stuff! If you have no luck and wanna try the other stuff let me know and I can get you a contact.

This is probably a really dumb question, but is the hot coat the same resin mix as the lamination resin?
@smallkinedings

@@ptj6412 not a dumb question at all. Sanding resin and laminating resin are different. I have a video on poly repairs for beginners (my logo is the thumbnail) that goes into it a bit. Laminating resin will always remain tacky even after curing which allows you to add more resin and cloth to it after its cured. This tackiness is caused by the resins contact with the air. Sanding resin contains a wax additive (waxed styrene) which floats to the top of your resin as it cures (imagine the skin on cold soup). This wax layer or soup skin creates a barrier between the resin and the air allowing for a smooth, non sticky sanding surface. You can either buy pre mixed sanding resin or make your own by adding 2% wax additive to your standard laminating resin. Hope that helps 🤙

This method was invented before the invention of Q-cell and microfiber. It's not really the strongest or best method in 2023. A putty made from microfibre is better and stronger. You can get the bevel right with a caulking tool. Mask the putty and peel at gel-time. Then run the mat glass up the outside of the fin for better strength.
