So the time has come for me to stop procrastinating and get my ski ready for this season. I glassed in a Carter B rocker kit onto my '10 SJ last winter and it has taken quite a beating. Has a few stress cracks on the outside and my paint job didn't hold up too well.
My plan is to dig out the cracks, fill with epoxy and sand, then lay glass over the bottom of the rocker. I'd like to make it strong so it holds up a little better. What kind of glass would you guys recommend? When I did the rocker i did most of my reinforcing on the inside (which is still solid) but not the outside. The beach landings have pretty much sanded down what i did on the outside to nothing.
Also, what paint would hold up well for the bottom? I was thinking about using a white pigment in the epoxy when i glass so at least it will be white when it scratches through. Or maybe just use the white epoxy as my paint for the very bottom. Good idea?
Any help would be appreciated guys.
