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...

At the end it might be my best work ever :)

Rock solid, flex comparable with any production board and light 2.5kg

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?
