Soft Board Repair Kit - EPS Safe !
SUP•BODYBOARDS•SOFT SURFBOARDS
TOUGH, CLEAR, ULTRA-FLEXIBLE, WATERPROOF
Styrofoam & EPS-Core constructed soft surfboards, bodyboards and SUPs have become quite popular these days but provide a real challenge to repair. SPONGE-REZ is awesome for repair on the outer skin and hull, but can melt the inner core, If EPS is visible, use the Solarez UV cure epoxy to make a protective coating over the EPS, cure it in the sun for 45 seconds, now apply SPONGE-REZ on top. Internal repairs such as delaminations or deep dings can then be repaired.
EXTERIOR REPAIR DIRECTIONS (no Styrofoam showing)
-
1) Surface should be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease or wax.
-
2) Apply SPONGE-REZ directly to the outer skin or hull materials and allow to dry completely overnight.
FILLING A DEEP DING THAT INVADES TO THE EPS CORE:
-
1) If white EPS foam is exposed in any situation, first coat the EPS with Solarez EPOXY (in the blue tube). Allow 2 to 3 minutes for it to cure in good sunlight or with artificial UV light. Now you can apply SPONGE- -REZ to this surface and it will make a smooth, self-leveling overcoat.
-
DELAMINATION: 1) Apply Solarez EPOXY (in the blue tube) to the white EPS foam, spread it smooth and allow 2 to 3 minutes exposure to sunlight.
-
2) Apply a smooth coating of SPONGE-REZ to the cured Solarez EPOXY and apply a smooth coat to the delaminated hull or deck material.
-
3) Allow both sides to dry about 5-10 minutes, then press them together. It is best if you seal the repair shut with masking tape and allow it to sit overnight.
WETSUIT SEALING:
-
1) Apply two lines of masking tape 1/8” away from the seam center so you now have a 1/4" gutter with the seam in the middle.
-
2) IN THE SHADE, apply a liberal bead of SPONGE-REZ, enough so that it floods the gap. Allow it to soak in for 30 seconds.
-
3) Remove the tape while the resin is still wet.
-
4) Allow to cure at least 2 hours before using.
