Re: Fixable raceboard?

I don't think I can write out every step, you have to see how it looks and maybe adjust the plans a bit. Any shaper should be able to figure it out.

Re: Fixable raceboard?

I've been buiklding boards since i was a kid in the mid 80's and hve done EPS/sandwich construction. Epoxy wiill NOT dissolve the foam.

I did go to a couple s...
