Garage Works - 3/4/2023

I have a few repair projects/orders in the garage - so today I started to work on them.

This Pyzel board belongs to Matt - I'm using this as an example to fix the one he turned over to me to rebuild the nose.  I'll start on this one after I fix Jim's board.


Jim's board has been sitting for a some time now and is bone dry.  This is the carbon liner all arranged.  I mixed up a bunch of epoxy in various batches to wet out the bottom and sides, rebind the top skin where it had separated, and got some of the sides wetted out.  The next batch was mixed with aerosil to coat the bottom and sides of the reinforcement block.  And I made one last batch to laminate the liner to the top deck.


And time to let it harden.  I'll level the block tomorrow, then rout out the track slots.


I also went ahead and prepped No.25 to get fixed.  The rail that I think I dinged with my shin (port side), the depression where I hit the board with my knee (to the right and above the iwa laminate), and the mystery depression near the nose off to the left - all got some fiberglass and epoxy.
