I already have a tube of Solarez Epoxy for my Webber epoxy board.
But I am trying to fix a normal old fiberglass surfboard (polyester ?).

Do you think I can use it on the old board or it won't work ?
Won't stick or melt the foam ?

I've never had any problems using that stuff on my boards, and they're all glass.
The stuff does become brittle over time so it's never going to be a permanent fix. Well, that's my experience so far anyway.

Think I might just bite the bullet one day and buy some real glass though, for those more serious board traumas.

Yep Epoxy solarez is fine to fix poly boards. Just never get it the other way around.

You need good sun to set that stuff off, the poly solarez doesnt need much sun. In my experience the Epoxy Solar needs good bright hot sun.
