Thinking about laying an extra layer of 6 once glass on the deck of my new FireWire 5'8" alternator. I usually use west system for ding repair, but it cures discolored. Anybody know of a strong clear curing epoxy? I'm over paying 80 bucks for a urine colored finish!

It mixes with regular west system epoxy to leave a perfectly clear finish. I have used it for years to add extra glass layers to weak off the rack surfboards.

But if west has a clear laminating hardner I'm on it. Thought about trying system three but don't know anything about it. I'll go w/ the easy choice here. Thanks florider Since 17 Oct 2013 10 Posts north bend,or   Fri Nov 22, 13 12:51 pm     Scriffler, do you glass the deck around the rails for strength or just glass the typical heel dent areas? Scriffler Since 03 Jul 2005 581 Posts LYLE Addicted Fri Nov 22, 13 2:29 pm     I cut a whole layer of 4 ounce and wrap it around to bottom around rails. Only about a 2 inch wrap. Just make sure you clean the board really well and key it with 100 grit everywhere the glass will be. Use just enough resin to saturate the glass so you don't have too much sanding to get it smooth.

They make UV resistant resins that a lot of board builders use. http://www.resinresearch.net/ bwd Since 04 Aug 2007 385 Posts Obsessed Sun Nov 24, 13 9:11 am     +1 for resin research        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
