Solarez Soft Board Repair Kit

Styrofoam & EPS-Core constructed soft surfboards, bodyboards and SUPs have become quite popular these days but provide a real challenge to repair. SPONGE-REZ is awesome for repair on the outer skin and hull, but can melt the inner core, If EPS is visible, use the Solarez UV cure epoxy to make a protective coating over the EPS, cure it in the sun for 45 seconds, now apply SPONGE-REZ on top. Internal repairs such as delaminations or deep dings can then be repaired.

EXTERIOR REPAIR DIRECTIONS (no Styrofoam showing)

• Surface should be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease or wax.
• Apply SPONGE-REZ directly to the outer skin or hull materials and allow to dry completely overnight.

FILLING A DEEP DING THAT INVADES TO THE EPS CORE:

• If white EPS foam is exposed in any situation, first coat the EPS with Solarez EPOXY (in the blue tube)
• Allow 2 to 3 minutes for it to cure in good sunlight or with artificial UV light.
• Now you can apply SPONGE-REZ to this surface and it will make a smooth, self-leveling overcoat.

DELAMINATION:

• Apply Solarez EPOXY (in the blue tube) to the white EPS foam, spread it smooth and allow 2 to 3 minutes exposure to sunlight.
• Apply a smooth coating of SPONGE-REZ to the cured Solarez EPOXY and apply a smooth coat to the delaminated hull or deck material.
• Allow both sides to dry about 5-10 minutes, then press them together. It is best if you seal the repair shut with masking tape and allow it to sit overnight.

WETSUIT SEALING:

• Apply two lines of masking tape 1/8” away from the seam center so you now have a 1/4″ gutter with the seam in the middle.
• IN THE SHADE, apply a liberal bead of SPONGE-REZ, enough so that it floods the gap. Allow it to soak in for 30 seconds.
• Remove the tape while the resin is still wet.
• Allow to cure at least 2 hours before using.
