Re: Delamination OR something else?

Re: Fiberglass in layup

the thickness of the glass gives the board its rigidity. I would hesitated to use 8oz on the ends unless you doubled it up. Alternatively, I've used 8oz between my base and the core and then thicker glass on the top and this worked well for me. My board is fairly flexible and "surfy", so n...

And I’m sure there was inadequate post-cure as well since I rode it less than two weeks after press. My previous boards were made in The summer or early fall and had several mo...

Delamination OR something else?

I had an imperfection in my press and epoxy slumped from the tail down to the flat behind the rear binding. I...
