if you like the pine that much because it's a soft core i think i might give it a try because i'm looking to build a really soft park snowboard and what better wood then pine!

awsome, just wanted to make sure, i'm new to all of this and wanted to make sure that i do it right you know, i'd rather learn the right way and do everything the right way so that i know if it's just me that can't build them or if it's cuz i did something wrong!

i second an expansion on core material, it would be a big help!

ok, now my last question is, if i'm using a cloth topsheet, how will i get the top edges of my board to stay waterproof. I can't seem to figure it out, but where your sidewall stops you would have exposed wood, and since it will be my first build I don't want to get into tip and tail spacers yet, i'...

but is it possible to use just cloth as your topsheet and the polyeurethane over it for the UV protection and call it a day?

check out my thread, i have talked about a cloth topsheet, the thread is called epoxy waterproof, and in there they were saying that having a cloth topsheet won't affect it that much because your topsheet doesn't really add much in terms of flex. Check it out and see what they have to say, hope it h...

that's what i thought, i'm just going for weight saving here. I mean, why use a bulky topsheet when you could use cloth. I figured i'd have to polyurethane it in order to keep it from degrading. I figure it would add a custom touch to the board because i'd have a board that no one else would have. T...

that's why i want to try the cloth topsheet that ride came out with this year. that's why i wanted to know if epoxy is waterproof because if you could make your topsheet out of cloth, it would be much lighter and probably keep teh board super flexible (i'm a park rider so the more flex/pop the bette...

true haha, i just wanted to make sure before i started experimenting with something that was failed. also, i figured i'd ask, but does the topsheet add any rigidity (stiffness) to the board?

so they literally cover it with a urathane? Thats interesting because i was wondering how people stopped it from getting warped and water logged, so even a regular topsheet isn't waterproof?

I'm new to building and am going to start this summer. I was wondering if the epoxy that you use for a snowboard is waterproof. I know that companies have started introducing cloth topsheets to reduce weigh. Thanks for the help!
