  • awesome video! I want to build my own skimboard...

    1. What kind of foamcore is that used on the video? do you sell it?

    2. what kind of wax do you apply on the jig so the resin doesn't bond on it? Do you sell it?

    3. how much do think I need to have to buy your products to make a skimboard?

    thx for the answers!

  • 1. The foam core is 1/2" thick 5-6lb/cu. ft - we do not sell foam core but Jamestown Distributors has a few choices.

    2. The wax is TR Industries high temp mold release - a good carnauba paste car wax will work as well, use a few coats. We do not sell release wax.

    3. An "A" group (quart size resin) is enough to make a few boards.

  • awesome video!

    Do you know how the board is holding up? 2 layers of CF and one of glass doesnt seem like a lot. Im guessing the 2 flow coats add a bit of strength and durability?

    Another question. what angle is the CF and glass fibers at or hows are they laid up?

    This video answered alot of my questions regrading composite lay up thanks again!!

  • Do you know how it is holding up? Only 2 layers of CF and 1 of fiberglass doesnt seem like enough. I guess the 2 flow coats add a bit of strength?

    Thanks for the great video! Its gonna help me make one of these and a composite longboard.
