QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
When do I put the carbon fiber on? Place the tail patches under the deck lamination and glass it all together?
The carbon goes directly on the foam and is laminated the same time as the fiberglass. A nice trick is to lightly spray the area with 3M Super77 and adhere the carbon to the foam first so it doesn't slide when wetting out the glass and carbon.
-
Can carbon fiber be laminated with polyester resin?
Yes carbon fiber can be laminated with polyester resin but epoxy resin is preferred to match the tensile strength of the carbon fiber
-
Is it ok to spray the area with 3M Super77 and adhere the carbon to the foam the day before glassing or should it be right before glassing?
You can adhere the carbon to the foam with 3M Super77 any time and wait to glass the board. No problem.

Is there a carbon fiber sticker that you could put on your surfboard that's already made for strength purposes
No carbon fiber stickers, carbon must be laminated with epoxy resin to give it the strength needed in a surfboard.
