skinsusing a pvc skin is easiest<br />you get the outline template and place it on top of the sheet of foam<br />draw a line with a pencil and cut the sheet out with a stanely knife or razor<br />if you want to use wood, its easiest to use hobby type balsa sheets that are 100mm wide and about 1000mm long<br />you want to use a nice thick skin for the best results<br />3mm thick is perfect or 1/8<br />id advize against using balsa wood on the deck or if you do it needs at least 6oz of glass but prefereably more<br />the reason why is that it break down very easily if water gets into it<br />other woods like paulownia are more suitable<br /><br />so lets put together a balsa sheet<br />you needa nice big flat table to work on btw<br />i roll out some brown paper first (to keep resin off the table)<br />then i arrange my sheets and tape them together<br />we are taping the OUTSIDE of the skin remember<br />so tape and join them up. you can use this little miter box design for doing diagonals<br /><br />once you have taped them together you draw the outline and trim them to shape with a razor<br />flip the balsa skin over and seal the untaped side with a slurry of epoxy and micro balloons.<br />i use around 70 grams of resin and squegee it onto the sheet.<br />the mix pushes into the joints and glues the sheet together and also prevents any resin bleeding through when you glass the inside.<br />i cut my skins 1mm over size<br />they should look like this<br /><br />the whole operation takes 10 to 15 minutes<br />okay so skins are done, so you put them aside until you are ready to bag them onto the blank<br /><br />you use a 2oz micro fiber for the inside glass<br />do the bottom skin first<br />put the skin on the table (covered in brown paper) and roll out your glass<br />trim the glass to the skin size with a razor or scissors<br />mix up some slow cure epoxy (you want about 1/2hr pot life,infusion resins are good)<br />i use 150 grams for a shortboard on a sealed balsa skin (but ive used far less,maybe 70 grams)<br />i perfer to mix a bit more these days and paint any leftovers on the rails and fin inserts.<br />wet out the cloth with squegee<br />flip the skin onto the bottom of your blank and place this on the rocker table<br />NOTE. your rocker table, blank and skins need witness marks to line up the skins with the core whilst bagging<br />these must be very visible in black pen<br /><br />then we layup the deck skin same way and flip that onto the deck<br />then we tape it all down and in allignment<br />slide the whole lot into the bag and seal it up with mastic as shown by hunty<br />you need some shade cloth or material as a breather to stop the bag from sucking up the vaccum hose<br />however you dont need breathers all through the bag as the eps rocker table acts as a breather<br />turn on the pump<br />have your vaccum switch set to about 7 or 8 HG vaccum<br />you may hear a bit of hissing from small leaks<br />these can be sealed with more mastic<br />if you find small hole in the bag,mark them with a permenent marker so you can find them next time<br />thats it<br />walk away for 24 to 36 hours and your laughing<br />you can get away with about 6 to 8 hours in the bag <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

the blankso we have a raw blank at this stage i guess<br />before we go any further just a bit about rocker tables<br />rocker tables are the best and most accurate way to vac skins on to a core<br />they are made from EPS<br />they need to be a certain thickness so the dont warp or twist under vaccuum<br />and they need a flat bottom<br />you make them with same template you use to cut your blanks<br />its basically the bottom offcut but with a flat bottom<br />its good to proctect your rocker table with some 3mm mdf and it can be glues in place with contact or gorilla glue<br />bevel or round off any corners so they dont tear your bag<br />there is a picture of a rocker table below that i made with some insulation sheet<br />it is too thin, i intend to glue another sheet of 50 mm foam to the base<br /><br />so now we have our raw blank and our rocker table waiting<br /><br />now we shape the core<br />the nose and tail will be a bit thicker and the rail material will stick up a bit over the foil at the ends of the foil<br />first thing is weigh the blank onto you shaping stands and get those high density rails down to the same height as the foil<br />use a power planer<br />then foil out the thickness in the nose and tail.<br />have a couple of squares of 3mm thick balsa or foam sheet, to lay onto the (what you think is) the finshed tail so you can visulize the finished overall thickness.<br />basically you foil away the nose toalmost nothing (on a potatochip thruster) and the tail to desired thickness.<br />now its time to do the rail bands(plane the rail bevels)<br />cut the rail bands with a power planer, as in john carpers shaping 101 or such (plenty of shit on youtube)<br />you have a 2inch mark from the rail and a 4 inch one<br />although i find its more you need to adjust these when you use that little rail radius sketch i pictured above<br /><br />here it is again, it shows the hight of the rail material at the outline and the hight at 15mm in from the outline.<br />this is how you work out the distance in from the rail for your first marks to shape to.<br />you can actually use your finger on the bottom of the board as a marking guage and draw a line along the side of the rail material that marks the point (the rail material height at the outline)where the first rail band is cut to.<br />they look good and now you cut the second rail band.<br />so it should like a surfboard with the two main bevels cut.<br />do not touch the bottom at all, leave it flat and square edge.<br />also the top needs to be left with a square edge (this ensure a clean joint at the skin)<br />so again refer to the sketch and you will see the skin wrapped down on to the bevel and flat edge<br />and it shows how much material will be later removed once the skins are on.<br />then you block and round everything off as you would shape a normal surfboard<br />but the rail edge must remain square.<br />(you shape eps with a courser grit like 40 or 60 grit and the core can be finished at about 80 grit is fine)<br />okay so the core is now done<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

the foil and high density railsfor sandwhich boards 1 pound density eps is the best bet for good flex<br />althouh will need a vent in the board in hot climates<br /><br />the templates are screw or double sided tape to the foam block<br />i use a solvent free spray adhesive called ados<br />once you stick the template on, it wont budge at all<br />get the wire cooking,it should cut a side in about 5 minutes<br />a bit of ventilation will help.<br />i leave the nose and tail about 20mm thick and shape the last part of the foil in, by hand after the stringers are on.<br />now i use 60kg PCM density airex foam for my perimeter stringers and it works great and shapes well .dvynicell or corecell will also work.<br />i buy a 15mm thick sheet and cut between 30mm to 40mm wide, straight strips the length of a sheet(a sheet is usually 8ft by 4 ft)<br />lay out your rail on some paper like here and then you can get width/height measurements before you cut your strip of pvc<br /><img src="http://www.compsand.com/gallery/Galleries//1/6/Thumbnails/z5.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br />its is unecessary to cut the rocker into the strips, as you can bend the foam easily<br />it can be warmed with a heatgun and bent over around a simple jig and clamped for a few minutes<br />this is less wasteful then cutting a curved strip as in berts thread<br />also with this little drawing you can work out your rail band cuts<br /><br />i overlap both skins over the stringers<br />it is faster and has no adverse effects to performance<br />also the board is more waterproof<br />airex pvc is waterproof, unlike balsa which goes soggy and greatly weakens the board<br /><br />the best thing about putting on the stringers first and overlapping the skins<br />is that you can bag on both skins in one go<br /><br />once you cut the blank<br />you trace the outline with your half template and mark your center line.<br />use a gauge or ruler and mark in the thickness of your rail<br />you need to have and idea of your rail radius before you decide on the width and thickness of your stringer<br />i find 15mm thick to be perfect<br />so you measure in from your outline 15mm and put marks with a fine tip felt pen every 4 inches or so<br />then you get your outline template and use it to redraw the outline on the points<br />i then use a japanese pull saw to cut the outline<br />i find the outline needs very little work to tidy up, as the japanese saw cuts it very fast and accurately<br />faster then jigsaw and sanding block<br /><br />so you cut the outline<br />true up with a sanding block if neccesary<br />then you glue on the tail block first<br />that way when you clamp on the stringers, they have a strong material at the tail to glue on to<br />the stringers are glued on with a fast setting epoxy and held in place with masking tape<br />its best to let some overlap on the bottom of the board a mm or so<br /><br />after the rails are glued on you check the outline with the template and check its all good<br />then run over the bottom with a sanding block and true up the stringers with the bottom.<br />then you lay out the fins and route in the high density inserts.<br />high density inserts greatly increase strength and isolate the plug from the core.<br />just lay out your shapers marks like a finished board<br />and use a router template to route some holes for your inserts<br />i make my inserts out of the same material as the stringer but it is 20 mm thick<br />if you allow for skin thickness ,then your total is 23mm this allows about 3 mm at the base of your FCS tm. plugs.<br />other fin systems may require deaper inserts.<br />i find that plug systems to be superior in this construction.<br />i have been testing boards for 3 years and have never had a failure.<br />there are other alternatives to FCS tm. like RAPTOR tm., 4WFS. tm and some copies like the euro plug<br />i personally prefer probox for an adjustable box system. also because it is uncapped.<br />and the fcs fusion box for a capped box<br />although in my opinion capping is uneccesary<br />a plug system is the lightest and easiest system to repair, and if damaged it wont damage the rest of the board as capped systems like FUTURES tm. do<br /><br />this whole process takes me around 40 minute to an hour at the most<br />and what you have is a rough blank<br />in production you would make a few hundred at once <img src="http://98.131.129.111/forum/Smileys/default/tongue.gif" alt="Tongue" border="0" /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();}

and templatesthe hotwire<br />i use a guitar tuning peg for tension<br />i find 6 amps DC pretty much at least what you need<br />which is a lab power supply or battery charger<br />use DC wire it carries more current<br />i use nichrome wire same piece all year<br />my wire is about .7mm but i would by thinner if i could<br />though this wire is strong<br />nichrome retains its tensile strength at high temperatures<br /><br />my hotwire guides are made with 3mm mdf<br />i make them the same way i mnake my outline templates<br />by printing the proifiles from board cad<br />i make one and trace the outline on to more for the other<br />i tack them together and true them up together<br /><br />templates<br /><br />i make my templates as a finished template so i can use them for pu boards and visualize the finished board<br />i have a guage, after i draw the outline on the foam<br />i mark in 15 mm from the rail every 4 inches or so,with the guage<br />and use the template to redraw the line<br />the template needs to be moved to do the nose and tail<br /><br />i print the outline in A4 sheets and their are orientation lines on the print out<br />i set the margins to 0 or the mallest margin posssible<br />i get 3mm mdf from home depot and they cut the sheets for me<br />i get the 8ft sheet cut into 4 stips<br />so 4 templates cost me 12$<br />i use a spray adhesive to glue the templates onto the mdf<br />and then cut the outline with a japanese saw<br />the fine kerf japanese pull saw will cut the template perfectly after a few goes<br />and you dont even need to plane or sand it<br />it will be good<br />the pull saw is faster then any other method and the same saw will cut perfect miters on your balsa<br />and you blank outlines perfectly<br />it can also be used to remove planks and skins on a finished board as the kerf is only .4 of a mm<br />and it will do a piercing cutPaul

seal one end and one side<br />you use yellow mastic to do this, yellow mastic is a permement mastic.<br />black mastic will peel off the plastic easily, this is good for the open end.<br />you need a clean floor and space and layout the plastic on the floor.<br />use the yellow mastic and carefully stick the strip around one end and up the side of the bag<br />leave the paper covering on the mastic<br />fold the bag back over in place and slowly peel back the paper as you slide you finger along and stick down the bag<br /><br />the floor must be clean, look after the bag it will do many boards if you are careful with it and dont leave dry fiberglass bit on your rocker table and bagging surface. carefully fold thebag away into a safe place when finished<br /><br />seal the end with black mastic so you can remove it and reseal for the next board.<br />if you get pinhole leaks mark them with a permenent marker so you can find them later.<br />when you seal the end down whilst bagging a board , make sure the surface is flat and extends past the width of the bag<br /><br />bagging supplies can be obtained from boatbuilding suppliers that deal in composites<br />and they are pretty cheap if you look after them<br />a 40$ bag will do 20 or 30 boards if you are carefullPaul
