Step 15Massively Paralyzed Processing
Since there's a big wait after each step, might as well fix another board at the same time.
Here's a broken kiteboard. I patched it with an "inverted pyramid" stack of cloth over the break. 2 layers of 8 oz fiberglass cloth and a layer of 4 oz on top of that. Each piece of cloth is larger than the piece under it. That way the ragged edges don't stand up. Here it is soaked clear with epoxy. Already very smooth. It's not going to break in that spot again.
You can't even see the edges of the cloth layers underneath the 4 oz. That's the beauty of putting the big thin layer of cloth on top. It keeps those ragged edges from standing up like a terrain model.
