HOW A PROFESSIONAL REALLY FIXES YOUR SURFBOARD - FCSII REPLACEMENT

In this video we look at two, typically busted FCS 2 boxes. We use both expanding PU and a foam off cut to show how both methods work. --------------------------------------------

You'll get first look at new videos before they go public and we can go over your own repairs through that page as well.

There are always members only videos being posted up on youtube too which only you members will have access to.

Great video mate! So helpful, thanks alot!

[westwindsailer]

thanks for your time, doing some sailboard repairs, planning and moving forward cautiously seems to be the lesson here.

Good one mate, i dont really like using expanded PU, seems easier and faster to me to root a small square and insert a new block of foam and start from there . Also sometimes you dont really need to root and insert because if youre really precise grinding the broken box (and if It is not completely destroyed the area around it), you can pull the old box out and the original root Will be perfect just to install a new box (maybe ya need to clean the resin inside of it with patience but you wouldnt need to insert block again and root ..)

I should share this video to my local shaper.
Amazing job bra

Micro oscillator tool is gonna be my router for this repair. Best new tool of the 21st century. Also, I don't have a bad ass router, or sander.

[JaredKnapp]

Great explanation Daniel! I think you can do that job if I break a box

[spinafex]

You can also melt the plastic around the pin with a soldering iron, less nerve wracking than trying to get it with a router.

I miss Hawaii now, great job on the repairs!

[heymansmulders]

Thanks that was really clear. I'll give it a go on an old board.

What type of polyester resin are you using? Advice on when to use/not use finishing resin?

[DingRepairWithPaul]

Couldn't you have started with drawing the square shape around the box. and instead of routing, using a Dremel to cut the square, then proceeding to just pull the box out in the square shape? seems like it would have cut the time down without risking pulling existing glass and foam up.

[prielhackim]

thanks you. I never understand why stop using to good old fcs 1 . just drill a simple hole - simple

[nitrosaurus_rex]

Question about the pour foam. I’m assuming since the pour foam is PU, that blue fish is also a PU board. Is it safe to use PU expanding foam on an EPS core? If not what’s the work around if there is one? Thanks in advance if you see this. Appreciate the videos!

Edit: Nevermind found your video on pour foam! Appreciate it!

[dmac]

I may have missed it watching at work, any use sanding the sides of the new box for bonding purpose?

[jasontroy]

FCS2 JIG would make the route much easier and cleaner. If you do a bunch of these its better to have a dedicated router bit just for these repairs because it tends to muck up to router bit.

[encommitted]

Nice one, Im literally on my final sand stage now and if I knew you had your own youtube channel earlier I would've watched your video about finbox repairs, but looks like I did everything pretty much right, skipped the pre laminating part tho hah
