Thanks everyone.
Sample done.
All good, no probs with a vac. I've got the Titanbond Waterproof.
Q: do you guys fill your PU glue container with a nitrogen? Does it help or wasting it?
Cheers,
D.

My efforts are to go sustainable as possible !
An a new one is coming just fine with the Entropy Super Sap CLR epoxy (my first).
This time went a bit 'artistic'
You'll see what I mean soon after taking this out of a vac.

Did I say Entropy for the above? Nah, it was WS.
The bottom glass is Entropy CLR and instantly had a problem.
The CLR is like a honey. I knew this is gonna happen. If you look at the vac bag from below and compare with the above, the vacuum is really working on WS (actually a bit too much).
Not so with the CLR:
Huh, the bottom is half decent now. It's going to take a lot of elbow grease to save it...

Since this tread is about bonding with PU, this just crosed my mind:
Is there any expected life time of PU (or epoxy for that mater) for use in this kind of products.
I know this is pretty general since there are tons of different PUs and Epoxys.
I remembered, my SB boots's sole were PU and started to detereorate after 10 years, but can't say how much is this related.
Just something to think about.

Ok,
back to the subject
No, no imperfections other than some cosmetic. Everything changed with the Carbon tape on top, the board is rock solid.
And this proves one thing for me: no need of carbon on bottom if using wood.
The solution is to bend the board before glassing (with top layer), hence less springback and than tension a bit more (more rocker), with carbon on top. The rock.
Here it comes:
Cudos? Questions?
Cheers!
