I found some 2 part epoxy glue in the end and mixed it up with a bit of q-cell, bunged up the hole a treat, sanded it back and will get the local boat guys to put a nice thick finish coat over the whole lot, the give it a wet and dry. PU resin won't matter for that as no foam is exposed.
UV cure resin is useless in the UK, not seen the sun for a month, they should make something that goes off in wind or rain!
Haha agree on the wind/rain cure epoxy. Someone get on to Greg Loehr
PRJ - how's the nose on your Spit, mine seems very thin on resin, i've have to repair it about 3 or 4 times now.
Mines been fine. I kept cracking the diamond tail though so I ended up sawing it off into a squash haha.
A few little stress cracks on the rails but otherwise it's been solid.
Maybe i should stop surfing the shorebreak and let the spongers have some waves!
Ha yeah I'm usually pretty careful with mine. The Spitfire is now my beater board for days like that so we'll see how it handles some more abuse!
Watch out man tourist season starts end of this week...i find they do more damage than rocks!
Yeah I know what you mean. I avoid main beaches where possible this time of year. Waves have been so bad it hasn't really mattered so far!
septembers not too far off now, I think we are owed some decent waves by then,
im spending the summer vanning around spain and france, still crowded but better chances with the weather right
I was tempted to do a France mission but now contemplating saving as much as I can until next May and doing a Maldives trip. Everyone on here having already been is making me jealous!
