Final thickness once I stacked together the 4 sheets was about 3 inches...
Should float me reeeeeally well, eh?
Next I glued 2 sheets together. I decided against gluing them all together at once after reading on www.swaylocks.com that people had trouble with the sheets sliding around. I'll glue on another sheet tonight. I put a board with a rocker I like underneath these 2 sheets and then put sand bags on top so once the glue dries it will have the same rocker shape...
Taped around some of the edges where I saw gaps...
Used gorilla wood glue...
While they were drying I started making the fins from some scrap plywood...
Super stoked so far, should be interesting to see how this crazy experiment turns out. The blank will end up costing around $30, which is about half what a real surfboard blank costs. Figured I would practice on the insulation foam rather then screwing up a nice blank, if this board turns out good maybe my next board will be from a real blank.
Later!
