do you wet the bottom of the core out before adding it to the layup?

We have done it both ways. So far we have not seen a difference first hand.

We tried to lay this one up as simple as possible, since the female in the video had never done one before.

I don't wet the bottom of the core either. Haven't noticed a difference either way except using more resin if you wet the bottom of the core out.

Nice video too :D

I also do not wet the bottom of the core. No issues. Just make sure your base and glass are wet out well. I do tend to make sure the ptex sidewall on the base side gets well wet.

Whether you wet out the core. It depends. If you are using bamboo as a core material, you can do either because it makes no difference, as the epoxy does not penetrate the material i.e. surface preparation is the most important factor.

If you are using hardwood/softwood core, then you need to hold in mind that the epoxy will penetrate the core, creating a hybrid product with increased mechanical properties. Due to their structure, different wood species will absorb different amounts of epoxy

Buy yourself a USB microscope so that you can measure the thickness of the laminate, this will help you seen how much epoxy is going into the core. If you know the thickness of the laminate is correct, you can work backwards and understand how many grams penetrate the core. This will inform future core construction.

Moisture content of the core, is something to take into consideration.

Boards look sweet. Nice mid spin shot too, Backside 3 tail grab?
Hey just wondering how many cuts do you have to do with your drag knife set-up or is it capable of cutting through the base in one cut?
