Looks like it would be really easy to wind the screws in too far and unwittingly punch an hole through into your foam anyway?

Yes.. .. That's why it would be very important to trim the screws to exactly the right length or use washers to prevent that happening.

Spot on DJ!

The screws would need to be trimmed to suit the handle being used. I suggest buying your handle (or I can supply with a package), winding the screw all the way through the handle and through the STIC-IT handle mount. This will give you the amount of thread that will need to be cut off from the screw.

To be on the safe side once the handle mounts are installed and the screws are cut down to the right length I would suggest using a spring washer to ensure the screw doesn't touch the board.

Was wondering if your Stic it points have held up to the test of time?

I'm looking at installing something similar and was wondering how durable they've been.

never use turps. it leaves a oil residue.
Always use metho or isopropyl alcohol.

Turps is fine but you are right about the residue. You just need to go over the spot with
household Spray n Wipe to get rid of the residue. I find turps works best if you need to
remove glue left from old deck pads, stickers etc.

DJ,

I'd be putting that can of Coke in the back pack rather than relying on one strap.

and if using Spray and wipe, rinse thoroughly with fresh water to remove S&W residue...

Id be tempted to try a little methol ethol keytone, ie plumbers cleaning solvant. its a great etch primer. I have never used it on finished epoxy but have on aluminium that is getting epoxy on it...

Looks like a good option for attaching your camera mount without 500m of duct tape DJ!

Thanks Ross.. mine are still perfect..

I was using my 12'6'' today and regularly use the deck bungee's..

You can now put a race handle on your carbon race board without having to drill holes in it.

how much thread engagement, i.e depth of thread is in the metal insert? what dia is the screw?

Hi husq2100,

The screw used is a 316 M5 screw.

There is 4mm of thread engagement through the soft pad eye, with 2-3mm of that thread being in a 316 locknut.

Cheers

how does the CF go as far as thread pull out? Given that basic engineering would be 1x dia for depth of thread engagement

There is a stainless steel nut inside.. and under the outer carbon fiber dome.. No chance of it striping or pulling out IMO.. The only thing you need to be careful of is you need to make sure the bolts are not too long and end up screwing into the board.. It's not hard to get the length right by either cutting or grinding off the bolt/screw to the right length.. or pack it by using washes.. None of mine have come off..
