thx for the video!!! this is a great tutorial video, simple, easy to follow if u r a beginner shaper. I got tired of spending loads of money on surfboards that in the end did not respond as expected, that's why I wanna make my own boards from now on...

did you use zerovoc before you glassed this?

[ThePolypop]

good job

So there is no Bisphenol-A involved in the process? That would be great!

It is still toxic?

Is it as strong as epóxi resin?

[AlexRCGlidersPeru]

@KRauSLoCo

Not very strong and quite brittle. It's the same as any polyester resin, just that they mix in a UV-activated curing agent. This means you don't have to use 1.5% MEKP

Polyester monomer is still very toxic.

does the tarp has to be blue to block UV rays?

[LauraDKaye]

@atubero

Anything that "blocks"the light...

"Reflecting" is even better!
