Can anyone tell me what resin type and glass to use to repair a North Nugget?
Got some delamination happening on on my 2012 under the heels and its allowing water in now . So needs a fix and re-enforcement .
I gather that you need to use the right one otherwise the foam doesn't react that well
Any other helpful hints are welcome 
Thanks guys
Eddie on kiteforum there is a guy call Dan at north, he is really good regarding all north products he should be able to help. I know robbie has a log in, maybe get him to ask?
Its Epoxy.
But Eddie your problem now is the water intake. The EPS foam core of these boards soaks up water like a sponge, literally! If severe, the usual scenario is a full:
- Drill
- Drain
- Vacuum
- Reseal
Not sure how big the hole or how much water has gone in, but it may be worth visiting a professional for some advice.
... hey Eddie, get West System 105 Resin and 205 Hardener from Darwin Fiberglass and make sure you read the instructions (I put too much hardener in and it got really really hot quickly 
): http://www.westsystem.com.au/west_system/products/resin_and_hardeners
www.dfgpools.com.au/
You can get the fiberglass cloth from there too, carbon too if you wanna spend the money (not neccessary but would look cool).
cheers,
Robbie
Thanks guys .
Bene; I have cut out the section - probably about 200 x 70 - and allowing it to dry - actually its not too bad but made to look worse by the colour of the bamboo - so thinking there is not too much water incursion - more like a very slow leak probably only when under stress from the heel and slowed down by being under the padding .
There is some delamination around the margins of what has been cut out - would I stick it down with the resin first ?
Thanks Eppo and Puetz - will pick up some gear tomoz and do a bit more homework before getting into it
Thanks
): 
Do what everyone else does. quick fix and flogg it off
As the big fella said, be wary of the hardener. I burnt a hole straight through a surfboard once.
All the best Eddie.
Got the 17m Robbie, haven't had it out yet still 7m weather down here.
Throw it in the bin and buy a new board your waste n money on repair new construction n on north shud be better time will tell
... red thumb, oh dear,,,,what was wrong with my advise,,, is West System no good???? I've used this stuff before and was advised by a boat builder this was the stuff to use,,,, and worked so can the red thumber let me know why its no good so I don't make the same mistake again?????
Oh well fixed with some greenies. Sometimes social media aint very social. Red thumbing for asked for advice, not cool
I've used standard epoxy based glue from supermarkets and a year later it's still unbreakable. I guess it depends on the size of the ding, but I've used it to repair a variety of dings and fin boxes.

Poly/PU repairs I would always cut any delam glass away. Cut right back until the glass is solid/fixed to the core. Then fill, sand, re-glass, sand, gloss, sand to wet/dry.
Not sure if epoxy is different. All I know is it's harder to sand than poly!

... back at ya,,, greenie for greenie!!! 
Great help thanks people.
Come to have closer look - quite a bit of water when you press it - will have to leave in the sun for a few days. Won't dry out properly don't reckon but will finish the repair and get some more time out of my beloved nugget. 
Will start to see what the replacement might be for our skinny wind.
The newer ones seem to be better built and are not showing the same problem but need to hear how the new version stacks up with this classic.
patch it up with some araldite, which is epoxy based and continue on. In the off season, drill some holes in it, stand the board up and watch the water trickle out
Ummmm... Maybe give that dude in bishop st with the boatshed a call..... Think u have his number...
