Fix a Ding on a Surfboard
Rate: (25 Ratings)
Use a fiberglass repair kit on a properly prepped surface to fix a ding on a surfboard. It'll look just like new.
Use sandpaper to thoroughly smooth the area around which you have removed the fiberglass. Sand so that the fiberglass meets the foam in a smooth seam. Use heavy paper, and leave the surface rough.
Precut a piece of cloth from the repair kit to the shape of the damaged area.
Mix the resin and catalyst as directed in the kit into a creamy paste. The paste will harden in a few minutes, so you have to work fast.
Apply the paste to the area of repair, and lay the cloth down on the paste.
Sand the board back to its original smoothness.

on 11/22/2005 When fixing a snapped nose you should find some popsicle sticks, about 4 should do. Sharpen both sides of the sticks, put them in the foam of your board to reconnect the nose to the body. Make sure your careful, don't ruin the foam. Once the nose is reconnected, you can start to lay the fiberglass on your board. The sticks will make the nose stronger than when it was brand new.
