I was hunting with a friend recently and he left the comment that his surfboard was beginning to have waterlogged. I couldn't see any observable damage to his board, so I asked him to reveal the damage. I was surprised to know it was merely several very small dings. Really just tiny holes not much bigger than you might make by puncturing the surfboard, state using your pen. It wont work on larger cracks or even larger holes, were merely talking about small punctures. Any dings larger than 50 percent of the size of a cent are overly high for Sun Cure to get the job done.

My friend hadn't mended these little holes because he thought it would mean carrying the surfboard into the browse shop to get it repaired. He would afterward be with no surfboard for a few days or perhaps he had been only too darned cheap to have the surfboard repaired.

There's a very simple to use product available on the market to repair tiny dings in your surfboard. It's really simple, you can't mess up a repair with this stuff, and the bonus is the fact that it doesn't even cost ten dollars. It is named Sun Cure plus just one tube of the substance will do to accomplish about 10 small ding fixes. After we finished surfing this afternoon , we stopped in at the SURFSHOP in Dominical Costa Rica and he also bought a tube.


On the ride home, he was asking me just how to do the repair also he was convinced that I was leaving out something. A day later he showed me how the surfboard and was laughing since it had been very simple.

Here are the measures to simple fix using Sun Cure:

Ensure that you are employed in a shady, ventilated area. The color is so that the wax onto your surfboard doesn't melt while you're achieving this repair. Also, you can't do this on a day if it's raining, but you can still do it on an over cast day, sunlight Heal only takes longer to dry.

Lightly sand the area that you want to repair. Now if a ding isn't large, then go easy here since you truly do not need to use a lot more than is necessary to fill out the gap.

When you have softly sanded the region, wash it clean with a clean dry cloth.

Find a wooden Popsicle stick to apply the Sun Heal (or something else that you do not mind throwing off when your finished ). You don't have to mix this, it's ready to go right out of the tube. Open the tube up of Sun Cure and put a small dab the stick. Simply spread Sunlight Cure into the hole. Try to make it as smooth as possible to eliminate sanding as it's dry.

Carry your surfboard out in to sunlight and angle the surf-board in order for the area that you need to harden is facing in direction of this sun.

Set he said down over the remainder of one's surfboard and provided that you never neglect to get your surfboard in a few minutes, your wax will nonetheless be alright on your own surfboard.

If it is a sunny day the Sun Cure will soon be hard in just five minutes. When it's partial sun you give it 6 to 8 minutes also whether or not it is a muddy day provide it 10 to 20 minutes.

Once it has hardened, take your surfboard from the sun and it's really ready to get a light sanding to get it smooth and nice. If you never try so part, there usually are hard little pieces that stickup. Recommended Site was on the go and did not bother sanding down it. The repair had been one of the rails as well as the whole semester I had been outside, I kept hitting on my hand with this tiny sharp bulge. Take the 60 seconds to gently sand down your repair once it's done healing in the sun.

That is it, you and your surfboard are ready going to the shore, unless of course you moved and did another thing while it was drying in sunlight and forgot about it. If that happened you will have come out to find a more soggy, waxy mess in your surfboard. Today you'll have to bring the measure of clearing up the mess and also apply a brand new coat of wax into your surfboard. So take my advice, as soon as you've put your surfboard out in sunlight do not go doing something while it's drying out, do not even answer your phone. I heard this the hard way.
