Hey guys, I have a slingshot response that I have been riding and I have already had 2 cases which ended in me needing to epoxy the board. The first was after a long day of sliding. The TS edge started to peel back and I put on some epoxy sanded it down and haven't had any problems. The second was from a dock start, I jumped off, rode my whole set and when I got back in the boat I noticed a big gash where a screw that must have been sticking up caught the board. I sanded out all of the loose material and got a nice pourace bonding surface and slapped on some epoxy, let it dry and sanded it smooth. Here in lies the question. The epoxy that I use to fix boards at the shop drys to a hard finish that can be sanded. Being that this is a flex board and the gash is on the bottom about square in the middle of the deck, do you guys think that the epoxy will break and crack until it falls off seeing as how the water will be able to help pull back the loose ends. I don't know, I am pretty sure that there is only one way to find out, just curious what you guys think.
