caltrano VIC 45 Posts	Posted 30/07/2012, 10:54 pm Guys I am keen to know where to by epoxy resin in Melbourne. Most surf shops sell tubes but I have a number on boards and am keen to fix them including a pretty big delamination on one of them. The delamination is under the grip so any bright idea's on removing the deck rubber so that I could reuse it would also be handy? I am in 2 minds weather to strip the entire section off or peel up one half and coat with resin then weight back down the top. - I know the first option is the best bet can help hoping the second is a whole lot easier???? All advice is much appreciated. Andrew

South Eastern Sails www.southeasternsails.com.au 03 9773 6144 Unit 2, 82 Brunel Rd., Seaford, VIC 3198 Or you can buy it online from www.boatcraft.com.au If you want to fix your delam properly you really should strip the delammed skin off and reskin it with the same layup and feather in all the edges. Your gunna need a new deck grip!! Have fun, it's a mongrel of a job.
