EastofOz, don't take this as an insult, but have you been diagnost Paranoid Schizophrenic, yet? If not, I suggest you find another psychiatrist.
Thank you (and of course all your other selves) for your diagnost (WTF?) I'm sure your multiple personality syndrome has clued you into the twisted mind.
Nebbian posted pics of his fine repairs. You boast of yours. A picture's worth a thousand words. Your current avitar is strikingly similar to photos on beswift's (et al) blog. Is someone again stealing your identity? Have you come to grips with your left handed harness lines?
So many questions, so little time.
I can go back to looking at Porn with a clear mind.

It had me stumped where I had seen that image before.
If you want some good advise re board repairs, heres the cosmic ones recommendation under one of his alter egos Broadreach5http://forums.iwindsurf.com/viewtopic.php?t=12351
He must have really been feeding the chickens a lot thinking up that kind of reply

Well your boom might not hit the board when you cut your nose off, but
there is a very big chance your mast will then :-)

Mathew,
The only time the nose gets wet is when I'm standing still, either beachstarting or when I stuff a gybe. I've watched the nose when carving, and it never gets remotely close to the water... possibly bad technique, but chopping the nose wouldn't make any difference.
The same goes for getting planing - the nose is well out of the water when I've got a reasonable chance of getting going.
It's only the front 15 cm or so, and this would mean that the boom will miss the nose when I wipe out again!

So you can only equate love with sex eh, maybe that could help with your diagnoses.
(Hardie, what do you think about this????)
Put some spray putty on last night, and took it for a sail today... the good news is that it's watertight! And although the wind wasn't enough to plane, I did have one over the handlebars moment with absolutely no damage whatsoever.
So I call this a success 
I'll post pictures of the finished article after some more sanding and painting.
As long as the "over the handlebars event" wasn't caused by the nose digging in!!!!!
if you want to wrap d/cell around the rails get the right stuff,comes in sheets of 10mm by 4mm squares with glass backing, you will need to fill the gaps with A bog of micro balloons or Qcells
it wraps so great you could laminate a basketball 
sounds like that would add a fair bit of weight, may be not as much as coremat though.
Agreed wrapping d'cell is a pain but quite possible with a heat gun.
I think airex is the best bet, you can tie that in knots cold. I used 5mm stuff on my boards without a problem
thsnks for the tip on airex but ive found to keep the weight down when makeing boards you need to give the d/cell a coat of reasonally dry coat of balloons then sand before laminateing,it fills the cells and save's weight in resin when laminateing, aswell as makes it as solid as, just remember the 5ml contured d/cell is on a layer of 2ml glass and makes it air tight
if you have any tips let me know, its been years since ive made any, i imagine tech has improved
So, no one has supplied a link to where you can optain these diviny cell materials. Is there one? In addition, Shark Byte didn't bring up sex, Decrepit did. He may have implied that love of a board might be a bit perverse and you made the point obvious. This will get you banned from this forum. hmmmm. I also don't see any answer to the question of how much time was spent on this act of love. Can a working man with children to support enjoy the sport and repair his broken nose at the same time?
Oh Mr Bigboard, why do I think you're another minor identity in a multi persona.
You seem to be the only person here who gives a toss for Mr sharky.
And of course as such you'd know all about getting chucked off this forum!!!!!

Ah the joy of a board that fells like an extension of your body.
Handles anything you can throw at it.
Push into a gybe as hard as you can, an it just bites in, sends massive G forces up your legs, produces a huge curtain of water, turns faster than you can spin the rig, and comes out on the plane.
Point it at a cresting lip, at speed, and it throws you into the air, floating on the sail it kisses the water as soft as a feather.
Drop down a vertical face and the harder you push into the bottom turn, the more Gs you generate and the harder you hit the next lip.
Surely your allowed to fell fondness for such a source of joy!!!!!
Are you human or a machine, Brucie, Shark-byte, Bigboard etc.
Or perhaps you've never actually ridden a sailboard????

Dude i cant beleive you chopped the nose off your board, i could have fixed it for you $150 and would have looked like new, o well, should call around see if any shops have a repair man they use.
I'm still sanding and puttying...
P.C_simpson - I spent a lot less than that, probably around $30, and I get a lot of experience, as well as knowing that the job was done right. So far I've probably spent 7 or 8 evenings on it, most of the time is spent waiting for glue to cure!
And now I have the satisfaction of knowing my favourite board's back on the water

OK so I'm just about finished one can of acrylic spray putty, and only the bottom is anywhere near smooth.
I have a fair bit of epoxy though, and was wondering where I would be able to buy microballoons? A mate who has some hasn't come through with the goods 
Most boating/fibreglass places should sell it, it has a few different names ie qcells etc. Save the spray putty for things such as filling in cloth pits in layup.
from my experience micro balloons are hollow and qcell are solid, might add .0000056 grams of extra weight to your board if u not careful nebs and then i might be able to catch you
Ahh but Haircut have you forgotten the 100 grams of nose that I chopped off and threw away? 
Thanks to all for the tips, I'll go looking for a fibreglass place tomorrow.
I've used the red micro spheres b4 and they were fine. So FGI's still there, I'll need some epoxy soon.
