GLASS JOBS MATERIALS
4 x 4 x 4 = Light
2 layers of 4 ounce on the deck with 1 layer of 4 ounce on the bottom. Make's for a light boards, used mainly on smaller boards.
Aerialite Glass
This new fibreglass cloth is designed specifically for surfboard manufacturing. The biased weave cloth is woven with more fibres running parallel to the stringer strengthening the entire board. The flatter fibres dont soak up as much resin creating a lighter and more durable board.
6 x 4 x 4 = Standard
2 layers on the deck, 1 layer of 6 ounce and 1 layer of 4 ounce with 1 layer 4 ounce on the bottom. Make's a for a great weight and strength for boards under 6'7".
S Cloth
This premium cloth has greater tensile strength (breaking) and is more impact resistant (dents) than standard fibreglass. S Cloth features a tighter , flatter weave that does not soak up as much resin- net result: a lighter, stronger surfboard.
6 x 6 x 4 = Medium
2 layers on the deck, 1 layer of 6 ounce and 1 layer of 4 ounce with 1 layer of 6 ounce on the bottom. Good strength slightly heavier than standard. Good for bigger boards .
Sanded gloss
A sanded gloss adds about 300 grams or more to the average shortboard(about 10% heavier).Advantages are a slightly stronger board that will last longer and stay in better condition. The downside to this is the extra weight can tend to deaden the board and really affect the performance in smaller surf. Because of the extra work involved , basically recoating and resanding the entire board, the cost to the customer is $100.00 .
6 x 6 x 6 = Heavy
2 layers of 6 ounce on the deck with 1 layer of 6 ounce on the bottom. Good strength heavier. Good for bigger boards and heavy people.
Close tolerance Blanks
The closer the blank is to the finished shape, the stronger the final product will be. These close tolerance blanks enable the shaper to make shallower cuts into the deck leaving a stronger surface - thus a superior strength surfboard.
