  • You know little and talk too much about what you don't know.

    Like your tipical used car sales man...

    Lots of bull.

    Epoxy boards can be handshaped or can be the molded type.

    Polyester boards can be handshaped or molded as well, but few are

    Almost ALL well known shapers offer more than one construction type;

    among this: *polyester resin&polyurethane blank your standard since the 60's

    *epoxy/eps handshaped

    *epoxy molded like the ones made in Asia(finnish paint &color on the outside)

  • America's number one fear is public speaking
