I've got a small puncture-about 4 mm-on the bottom of my board. I've filled the hole with resin, but I'm wondering: can I lay a small piece of fiberglass over the repair without[/b] sanding off the paint first? Or will it not bond properly?
Paint off. dont sand till you hit black you may not find it lol
it will be obvious when paint then undercoat /primer is gone and you hit filler coat / laminate

Sounds a little excessive for a 4mm puncture to me.
I agree but just filling a hole with resin it may not bond to the paint in the depression. So with no prep before fill, yeah now I'd glass it
I had an accident with a kiter last month. Here is my quick fix: Epoxy injection with a syringe. Board back on water the next afternoon. I didn't bother fixing up the 30cm harness hook mark, so has a story to tell now.
Yes it works but not without considering heat. can melt the core
prob better off with UV cure resin to fill, then sand n glass. Still back on water next day
Yes agree. One has to be very careful and very sure they know what they're doing (and confirm this by testing to get to know the product).
Thanks for tip with the UV resin.
Or just use very slow epoxy - too keep the temperature of the chemical reaction low enough.
