I'm having a crack at fixing a near dead board, looking for somewhere to buy around a litre of resin and also get a price to see if its worth the trouble, any info would be great...thanks

There's a boating / sailing shop in Claremont on Stirling hwy that sell epoxy kits with the mat, brush, etc. From memory about $35. I've fixed three boards and used about a third so great value.

For fixing I would say get the G-Flex West Systems epoxy. It's small 2x250ml but man that WILL bond to plastic. About $50.

Bunnings

Thanks for all the useful info, I will try and get some pics of he job as I go if its not too **** :-)

hey there - not sure what you are tring to fix but when you mention resin - resins aint resins! Alot of the bunnings type stores stock polyester resin and this is not compatible with some of the foams in certin boards - I bet many recall pouring some turps (terpentine) on foam as a kid only to see it melt and disappear - not nice when its the foam core of ur board !! Epoxy resin is the way to go for most board repairs as its compatible with the common foam inner core structure of most wind and kite surfing boards - if in doubt check!!!!
There have been some scary stories of guys having a crack at board repairs only to select the WRONG resin and watch the foam in their board form a cave of gigantic proportions!! - and not much left to fix!!

If your down in mandurah i found it at the chandlery. Saved me having to go into the city. Look on the west systems website they list the WA sellers

Hey Mark,

That's about the best advice you have given to this forum!

Just kidding but good advice.
