Re: Cork deck

Thanks Mike. maybe... I may be close to you for the next NSSA kneeboard contest( my friend is in it). I think it is in SD county in a couple weeks. How does cork do for deck material? Will it last a year? What kinda glue would I use to stick it to the deck? If I can find some nearby I will grab it. ...

Re: Saterday project

I made a square tail lust like the 1st board.I liked the turning on the swallow better but the square would catch waves a bit easier..not much though. I have been riding the square more while a these next two boards are being finished. The next board aI make will be a square tail and maybe an inch o...

Re: Saterday project

Soulglider, are you referring to the 1st board on the 1st page of this post or the board on this page? I went with a bit more parallel lines on this one. http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z477/ClanB2011/WP_000131.jpg over this 1st board. http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z477/ClanB2011/2012-02-2...

Re: leashes??

I have 2 boards getting varnish now and 2 more to shape. I am going to do two things I have not tried on one or more of them. I will put a leash on one and a deck pad like Mr Mike.

leashes??

Any of you put leashes on your wood paipos? I never have. Never even gave it thought...until this morning....I chased my board for 100+ yards as the current took it. I even had to use a spotter up on the board walk to point it out for me.

chalk paint

Anyone ever use chalk paint? I just did on one of my boards and it looked great until I noticed cracking after day two of drying. Im now sanding and putting on a primer and then give it a quick spray paint and then marine varnish.

Re: Saterday project

The Douglas fir marine ply seems to "soak up" the varnish. Is that normal? How many spray coats is ok before I use the board? I have 3 on the bottom and 2 on top. All coats were light.

Re: The Cordless Belt Sander

I used a new belt and cut a pc. of wood to fit it. I used it to finish shape the nose area and burn off pencil marks on the deck. Worked great. I will use this when I want to remove some wood but not at the rate a belt sander does. Thanks for the tip.
