Thanks gozaimaas for the insight- Yes I wet out the core before placing the top fiber layer. Maybe I didn't do a good enough job wetting it out completely though, that's possible for sure. So when the topsheet/fiberglass started pulling away from core, I stopped and just left it in the mold. I figur...

I meant to mention this was a Snowboard layup.

Thanks,

Hey Fellas, It's been awhile since I've been on here, but after hitting another issue during wet layup, I figured I'd share my issues with the experts to troubleshoot. The issue is the top sheet/fiber layer de-laminated when I tried to remove from mold. The epoxy seemed brittle and the fiber didn't ...

paper bonds really well! i use it for all my graphics. i'm printing on a regular desktop printer (epson 2100) on matte coated paper. usually i coat the non-print side of the paper with white water based acrylic paint to stop my epoxy from seeping through. the reason for this is that my epoxy has an...

One more question dealing with strength/potential de-lam of board... I have done a lot of fabric screenprinting in the past, as well as acrylic on poster paper. Seems like most people will use fabric, rice paper, or print directly onto wood/polyethylene sheets. Are there more delam issues with print...

Thanks all for the quick feedback...I am not able to see daylight through core, but will potentially reinforce with additional epoxy and some glass strips if it looks worse after core profiling. Appreciate the help- getting pretty stoked about printing some graphics and laying this thing up! I'll up...

Hi All, Been awhile since I've posted on here...although I've definitely been able to answer a lot of my questions just by searching on here. Lots of great stuff, especially some of the 'lessons learned' comments and posts on here! Anyway, I am in the works of building now...built the mold out of MD...

Thanks twizzstyle for clearing that up for me.

Do you use a glue joint, miter joint, or some variation join the ptex to the core? Or just slot the wood core and overlay the ptex?

Great feedback fellas, thanks! I've done some vacuum bagging before, but it was a flat carbon fiber panel, nothing with camber so I wanted to confirm. deepskis- Just so I'm clear, are you suggesting using solely tipspacers on the nose/tail and using wood core in between? Is this a ptex material, or ...

Hey All, I'm the new guy on here...so at the risk of asking a previous question (haven't found the discussion on here yet if it exists), I'm hoping I can get some initial insight from some of the experts on here...if a similar post exists I'd appreciate a link? I'm starting my first board constructi...
