Garage Works - 11/11/2026

Since I had the day off, I headed to the garage with the intention of getting Roland's board across the finish line.

I sanded the laps around the carbon patches on the top deck.  Then I drilled out the holes on the foot strap inserts.

Then I used a countersunk bit to chamfer the hole edges

Nice!

I used spray adhesive on the deckpads and got those back on.

There was a weird bubble on the tail outside of where I was working.  It seemed like a clear coat giving way - I tried to pop it, but it flaked off.  I tried taking all the paint and resin that wasn't holding off and faired off the edges.

I used black spray paint and covered it back up.  Not my fault - but hopefully this fixes it.

After all the top deck work was completed, I flipped the board over and started sanding the edges and the flats.

I drilled holes where the tracks were and then added a fill coat.  I took a break here and headed to Hickam.

When I got back I opened up the tracks.

Then I used a file and smoothed out the edges.

I sprayed the bottom deck where I worked with satin clear coat.

The last thing I have to do is cut out the deck pad where the handle used to be and place a small patch.

This heads back to Roland tomorrow.
