I have discovered a tiny fingernail size hole\crack in the bottom of a 2010 RRD board. I suspect one of the kids bike fell against it. It does not warrant a repair job as such, but I do want to seal it as I think it is just deep enough to have got into the core of board.

I think the easiest thing to do would be to just fill the very small crack with resin\glue. I am now a bit overwhelmed but the amount of resins available on the market and what which ones are suitable for my board. Allot of warning not to use on some types of materials.

Which one of these do I want? What am I looking for?

Yep 5 minute araldyte for small holes can't go wrong and eat the core, lightly sand the area and dribble it on, make sure it's mixed really well and only put just enough to fill the area you are sealing so you don't have to sand it back.

Brilliant thanks for the help Imax1 and Von

If buying something, I'd use Solarez UV cure every time.
It stays clear for a start..... not going yellow like normal stuff. I reckon nothing devalues a board like dodgy looking repairs.

Plus u leave it in your windsurf gear box for years and one perfect day at the beach when u have a hole..... you can keep sailing


(The epoxy Solarez of course)

If you dribble just the right quantity of resin onto the ding, you can tape over with some clear sellotape to smooth the resin flush with the surrounding skin of the board (just rub/smooth gently with your fingers till the tape is a nice and smooth and the resin beneath has visibly oozed into all the right spots. Remove sticky tape once resin is cured and you'll have a perfectly smooth and flush finish with no sanding required....

Epoxy UV Solarez it would be just perfect!!!
