Just experimenting with epoxy at the moment trying to construct a centre board out of ply to suction cup onto the bottom of my paddle board to teach the kids on. Went all bad today when the resin basically would not stick to the ply that I had spray painted black and ended up all botchy. Probably easier to start again. How would one taint a resin back so I don't have to do it three times?
Thanks for the lead. I don't mind if it is a bit translucent. I would just like to get better at this epoxy thing so that I can repair my own boards etc.
Hey Dean,
Not quite as much fun as messing with epoxy, but I've found that a large plastic chopping board works really well with suction cups as a centreboard. Good luck with the teaching of the kids, give them plenty of breaks and play time in between sailing (I've found the ratio is about 5 minutes sailing / 25 minutes playing!)
Thanks James will take onboard, but was trying to replicate the carbon look with the white paint sanded back and thought it better to practice on a bit of ply rather than a board.
