Before starting, you must be sure to have everything you need in place. Just like when you are cooking, you have to have all the ingredients prepared before firing up that stove.
It should have:. Fiberglass — to reinforce and strengthen the resin to hold up in tougher conditions. Sandpaper — to smoothen out the surface of the surfboard prior and after applying the resin. Ideal should be an array of grits from Masking Tape — to keep the areas that are not part of repair from getting resin. Q-Cell — to fill in any cracks, cuts, or gaps in the problem area.
Cup — for mixing things in like Q-Cell and resin. Acetone — to make sure that your board is clean and spotless before initiating the repair. Mask — to be able to breathe well while working with chemicals. Razor Blade — to remove the loose fragments that are left on after the repair. Do this with a cloth with acetone or with a razor blade if the debris needs to be removed surgically.
Dents that have been ignored for some time may have rotten, so be sure to be on the lookout for such. Be sure to remove any top layers of wax before sanding. Once done, sand the problem area down to that exact spot that is somewhat sunken into your board.

Absolutely mint condition, no dings anywhere. Comes with fins, leash and board bag. You can also use some acetone to break down other substances that are still on the surfboard after you have cleaned it up.
The next step is to sand down your surfboard. You might want a smoother surface to work with when repairing your board. Make sure that your sandpaper is only around 30 to 60 grit. If the grit level of the sandpaper is too high, you will not be able to bond your board after cleaning and sanding it.
You might want to protect the surrounding areas using masking tape. It also helps to minimize the area that you need to sand later on. If the hole is too big, filling the gaps is the best thing to do. In a mixing cup, combine sanding resin and Q-cell. Start mixing it. Add at least ten catalyst drops to your paste. And then mix again. Apply this combination on the dinged areas.
It serves as an adequate foam replacement. You might want to use a stick to fill in every crevice, and not miss even the tiniest holes. Stop pouring the mixture when it sits above the damaged area.
Then, wait for the mixture to harden. Once the mixture that you used in filling the gaps hardened, sand it down. This way, it falls flat with the board. You can also sand down to cater to the resin coat. When sanding your board, it is best to use a sanding block.
It helps to distribute the pressure evenly. The sanding block also helps to prevent coves on the board. You will need two circular fiberglass pieces; just make sure that the other one is a bit bigger compared to the other, and both parts are more significant compared to the repaired area. Combine the ten catalyst drops and the sanding resin.
