![]() AKU SHAPER SWAYLOCKS WINDOWSBoard in bag after skinning bottom with innegra and corecork, have just released pressure and sat board by windows to cure in heat for a few days. Cork between the two seems heaps stronger, there is no way you can get it to bend of push in just using your hands. Innegra by itself seems pretty flexy Carbon and innegra is heaps stronger. Quick test of a bit of foam in a bag to check vac pump setup was working okay Small test section of the laminate for the board, the cork goes super hard once sandwiched between the innegra and carbon. AKU SHAPER SWAYLOCKS UPDATEHi All, Just thought i shlould put up an update on progress of board for and interested diy'ers This was the spackle i used on the board, it seems like it is one of the more popular brands to use on the swaylocks forums. Remember to take lots of photos as ya go! but dont drink too much homebrew as you lam! I think its best for a basic wetlam job to keep the weight down. I think this is most important if you are not using a wetout table where you can control your resin ratios very closely. (or is it vise versa?) I guess the spakle is to reduce the amount of resin being absorbed by the foam. For the final layer put black pigment in ya resin then the a white pigmented filler coat to get the brushed look. Good idea around the fin plug too, but dont bother at the handle. when you drop in the fin blocks of HD use a little glass inside with the bog mix for extra strength. you might have to stack a fey layers on top of each other if its thin but you can get it in up to 25mm thick sheets. ![]() Try your local boat builder and ask if they have some off cuts you can pinch. Sounds good Chris! Dont use balsa it is a sponge! Use Divinycell or any PVC foam with a density of 80-100 kg/m3 (80 is best value for money and still light). I have my blank sitting inside the house at the moment and am thinking i will put a homebrew beer heater belt on my epoxy drums to keep them warm in preparation. I want to go for the starboard style brushed carbon look and then airbrush pinlines and graphics over the top. ![]() Do you know what kind of foam i should use for the inserts? (i also saw someone on swaylocks talking about using balsa for inserts, i don't know if balsa is water repellant or if it soaks up water) Planning on: glasssing bottom first, innegra and cork in one go then deck - inngra and cork one go then one side carbon other side carbon + thin glass sanding layer then finla remaining glass sanding layer. Seems like a nice hard surface once sanded, i think the surface might still be porous enough for the resin to key into but not as much as uncoated. I am not entirely convinced by the concept either. I just went to the local mitre 10 and picked up the different wall patching products, the red devil was really light, where as stuff like spakfilla was really heavy. AKU SHAPER SWAYLOCKS 1080PThe other option is to purchase a flat port which you can then put on your housing in place of the curved original, I used this set-up on a trip to Indonesia in January to capture some snorkeling pictures and some surf footage from under the wave, there’s very little vignetting when using the 1080p video mode but a little bit when in stills mode.Hi Bertie, I used this red devil brand spackle, which was suggested on a couple of sites. I’ve made by own focus fix set-up using a cheap aquapac bag and a circular piece of tube attached to the front of the GoPro within the bag, this effectively gives you a flat port to shoot through and worked pretty well for messing around snorkeling in Turkey. Someone called Jomol has had an ingenious idea, using the extended back from the LCD Bac Pac you can put the GoPro in backwards and shoot through the flat, clear plastic back to prevent the annoying underwater blur effect you get from the standard domed port. ![]() ![]() The GoPro does not focus correctly underwater when using the standard curved port provided with the housing. ![]()
