how to make a longboard (read description, and use MAPLE NOT BIRCH)

in this video i show you how to build a longboard.

What you need:
1-1/4 in plywood (DONT USE BIRCH LIKE I DID, its way to flexible. USE NON VENEER MAPLE)
2-wood glue or contact cement
3-fiberglass and resin
4-brushes
5-gloves
6-jig saw
7-sand paper (electric sander works better)
8-anything thatll work for crip
9-big pieces of paper (poster board)
10-scissors
11-tape
12-anything else that you saw in the video that i forgot to mention

Fiberglassing DOES help the board, but only if you use the right kind and amount. Unidirectional has effect after about 200 grams. Others would take as much as 600 grams to work. Also, where did you put it? It only changes the board's feel if you put it on the bottom. Sandwiching it between the wood is a waste..

Birch is a fine wood for boardbuilding. If it's too flexy for you, you need to add another layer or glass it more. An extra ply of wood is just as effective as glass though.

@BlacktoryProject in this video i pput it on the top, but i made 3 more boards after this with aspen and the fiber glass on the bottom and it worked great

i have a couple questions:

1:how thick are the two pieces of wood (when not put together)

2:Is it plywood?

3:could i put stickers, paint etc on before i put the fiberglass on it?

thanks!

@MMCNSnowSports its in the description. and for the stickers and stuff, yes thats what i did. the fiberglass goes clear and dries clear so you can see it
