This was work from yesterday (forgot to post).
I sanded the nose and tail of the Cymatic. All is now good with this board.
I went ahead and put the base coat and top coat of wax on. And I placed it in the Faro board bag (fits perfectly).
Then I shifted to the next project - placing footstrap inserts and a vent into Roland's Appletree prone foil board (that he wants to use for Foil Drive-ing).
I pulled a deckpad section to see how much it would stretch and see if it could be reused. It stretched too much so it couldn't be saved - then I proceeded to strip it all. It'll make for a cleaner board modification.
Roland pointed out the delamination happening on the right. But after taking up more deck pad, the one on the left became readily apparent. These spots are pretty close to the footstrap locations, so they should be relatively easy to repair and hide.
I set these up according to how Roland indicated, and sent him a text to confirm.
20 cm is the spacing between respective holes - and he had these set pretty much at that spacing.
Personally I would have placed the back foot set further out towards the starboard rail - but that goes to show you everybody rides foils differently.
I'll route out the slots in reinforcement blocks, epoxy in the inserts, then cut the slots in the board.
I'll cut out the delams, epoxy on carbon patches, and then put on a cover sheet over each of the insert sets (so two side-by-side patches).
