SHORTENING A FOAM CORE DECK!
Posted: Sat Aug 25, 2007 10:22 am
I have a foamcore/carbon fibre board a mate gave me and I've re-drilling it shorter. Its wicked, but I now have three and a half inches of extra nose. At first this wasn't a problem, but it
a) puts me off to look at when skating and makes me feel like I'm standing in the wrong place and b) on really tight stuff I think my long nose is affecting my line as I think it may touch cones.
I want to cut the nose on my "Cyrano de Bergerac" model! Now, I'm thinking jig saw with blade for metal, but how do I tidy it up once I cut it down?
I thought of getting a surfboard repair kit but there seem to be 2 kinds, the standard with fibreglass fabric and resin or the ones that are just a putty affair, which would be better?
Would either of them react with the foam? I don't want the core to melt and dissapear!!!!
HELP!
