    Cool video, coincidentally I was looking exactly for a video on how to glass the deck (after watching the bottom glass video from Matt Holladay - which is super nice) and 2 minutes later you posted this video! For the next video could be on the hot coat process, a natural progression. One on sanding the board would be nice as well.

    Just found your channel today, really cool. Watching from right down in Palm Bay. It would be nice to see how to install Futures fin boxes. I watched the video of how to use the kit, but it didn't show how to select the location, set the fin angle, or how to attach the box to the board. If you guys could put a playlist together of building a board from start to finish, that would be awesome. Most of the videos I have come across don't give enough instruction or leave out critical steps. I would love to try to build my own board, but I would be starting from zero so I would need to know pretty much every detail at each step. I would definitely get my stuff from you guys though.
    Also, a video on the difference between epoxy resin and poly resin. Pros and cons of each.

    Thanks for great advice. Have been looking for a good video on freelap lamination but haven´t found one til this one came out. One question: How much more resin would you mix up if you put down all the glass at the same time rather then glassing one layer at the time? Thanks in advance.

    How do you get the sandpaper not to clog up with resin lumps when you sand the free lap edge? Assuming you didn't put styrene in your laminating resin for the bottom.

    Hi guys, I am planning to shape my own surfboard. How much resin do you need for a board like this? Are 2 Liters enough for a 6'0"?

    • @FiberglassFlorida
      @FiberglassFlorida  Před 4 lety +3

      Tobi Ricardo great question, it definitely can vary depending on how much spills off the board and things like that. Being new too it I would make more than you need because you wouldn’t want to run out. We have another video that shows glossing the bottom of the board and Matt goes into alittle bit better detail on this.

    • @FiberglassFlorida
      @FiberglassFlorida  Před 2 lety

      Its a deck patch to add strength to the area of the board that takes a beating. Adding an extra layer where you stand mitigates some pressure dents makes the board last.
