Foam Core Kiteboard

Step 8 Start Fibreglassing the bottom

Use the credit card to spread a thin layer of epoxy on the foam (which is still screwed into the board). Now lay down your layer first layer of glass as evenly as possibly, try not to bend or warp the fibers to get them flat. Keep the longitudinal weaves as straight as possible. Now start wetting it out. Mix small amounts of epoxy to work with as required and use the credit card to spread it over the glass. Use as little as possible while still completely wetting out the glass. Excess epoxy is only non structural weight.

Now repeat with the other layers. Once the glass has dried trim it so there is only a slight overhang on the edges

In the glassing step do you put epoxy on foam, then put glass down, then more epoxy, then glass?

And is there a layer of epoxy on the last layer of glass?
