Hi,
I've recently purchased a Shadowbox GPS and need to attach it to my boards, it comes with some 3M mounting feet but I don't have too much confidence in how strong the glue would be.
The shadowbox comes with mounting feet as shown in the image:
I'm thinking of going for a more permanent attachment for the feet, so was wondering if I could araldite the feet to the board?
Would that damage the board? It's a JP freestyle board? Any other better glues?
Cheers,
Adam
Firstly let me say how jealous I am!
If the pads are anything like the ones for the gopro then you will not be able to remove them from the board as long as it has been cleaned properly before hand. I believe the 3m ones are very good.
They were developing a windsurfmount. Basically a plate which goes under your mast foot, with a flat piece sticking out the back to stick the shadow box on.
4 screws underneath to mount the shadowbox itself to the plate
Wouldn't be hard to make one yourself
PM me if you want to trace around the mount to make a copy, I'm in Sydney.
I don't think those pads will stick to deck grip very well. The plate under the mast foot seems like the best idea.
But if you want to use the pads, sand the deck grip off first, finish with a fine wet and dry to give maximum surface area for the pads to stick to.
