Between napping and working on the yard (edging and mowing), I got the big SUP repair forwarded.
I started by using the planner to take down the pour foam. Then I used the router to open the slot to accommodate the polyurethane blocks.
Here's the open slot and the foam blocks. I had to use the surform to get everything to fit the way I wanted it to.
Expanding Gorilla Glue for this one. I've been reading a lot of feedback on how other people secure this - most have moved on from epoxy to avoid the exotherm damage potential. And the Gorilla Glue is stronger than the foam it is securing together - so the results strength wise should be the same.
At this point I had finished the yardwork and used the planer and surform to level out the foam block (and glue that expanded out). Then I marked up the center line and the 90mm spacing
And here is where I stopped for the day - I setup the first cut.
I'll cut the slots out tomorrow and then likely epoxy in the tracks. I should go ahead and cut out the reinforcement patches and get those epoxied on at the same time (so everything chemically bonds together).
