Wow this video deserves more views! Add the word hardboard of something cause the first 30 results were useless inflatables I'd never purchase. Lotsa love for this vid.
appreciate that!
Excellent video. Clear and concise. Worked perfectly for me. Thanks
Thank you! Glad it worked for you.
Hey thanks, I’m going to try this!
Let us know if you have any questions along the way!
Do you have advice for repairing a larger crack?
It depends on the size of the crack, but if it's larger than a couple of inches, or separation is greater than 1/8", you would need to use a sheet of fiberglass to repair.
Awesome stuff! So my solarex did not cure properly and was in the sun…seemed tackie. So i left it in the sun again the next day for a solid 6 hours and still almost feels the same, any advice
Thanks for the question. It's hard to say definitively what the issue might be, but some things to consider: 1) confirming that it is in fact UV cure vs. just an epoxy, 2) could be a bad bottle of Solarez?, or 3) is the area you're repairing significantly larger than the size of a quarter?
@@paddlenorth hi thanks. No it is definitely small, about 3cm long by about 5mm wide max after being prepared properly. It’s definitely also the correct tube of solarez UV Curing type. I will prepare it again and then do it again but will by a new tube of the stuff. But yeh crazy. Hopefully it works
@@BrettArmstrong1 it sounds to me like you probably used an epoxy without a hardener in it.
Mahalo!
Thanks for stopping by!
Can solarez be used on epoxy and fiberglass boards?
Yes! It is perfect for this.
Can this be used on a foam core board?
