BB you are a badass gettin it done. I have never been a fan of SN's, but I am a fan of guys that get stuff done. Diving in very cool.

 

[bansheebill]

thanks dude. got a questione for all you experienced foothold installers out there ive got my holds all fitted up now and ready to get after the glass work is this EpoxyResinCosts4FootholdInstall.pdf (9.3 KB, 509 views) copied from the from the foothold thread in faq exactly what i should get from us composites only reason im asking is the guy who posted this list said he was a first timer too im not worried about working with this stuff i just dont wanna come up short on material or wind up with way too much either.thanks in advance bill

The half gallons will work just fine. I just did my buddies 550 yesterday and it barely made a dent in them until we did the whole tray we used about half. i had to do mine twice and i was fine with the half gallons. Make sure you stick with the epoxy. As for glass i just used mat cause i get it for free and layered it up pretty good and that seemed to work just fine. Can't really help with cloth or the Biax and cloth stuff. Also if you store the pumps on the half gallons make sure they don't tip over cause the LEAK!! lost all my resin and hardener that way.

havent been workin too hard on this ive been hopeing for warmer days to do my glass work but i did do some paint n polish on the pipe today

 

[lovetheriver]

Pipe looks great, what did you use to clean it up?

 

[bansheebill]

sanded primed and painted the head pipe and sanded the chamber with 400 - 600 - 1000 - 2000 then buffed it with a polishing wheel on a die grinder with red rouge sp? from harbor freight

thanks but i got a fresh one on there. btw what kind of wetsuit do you use. whats the coldest temp you go out in?

 

[vshockey10]

I have a bunch actually. Bought out a ton of used ones from a local shop. how big are you might be able to hook you up for really cheap.

But I personally have a full 7mm, full 4/3mm, just the bibs from a 4/3 farmer john suit, and a 1/2 suit that is like 2mm. All for different riding conditions. Just depends on what I'm feeling that day noramlly. My favorite is the full 4/3 though. We where out on my boat in 50* weather this fall wake surfing. Last spring we where out in March. All my skis are torn down now but things are moving right along, I'll be ready with at least one ski by March for sure. Hope you are too!

im about 6foot3 225lbs and like cheap used stuff lol. i have too many expensive hobbies

 

[ajmps1]

How do u move in that 7mm haha 5/4 full is hard enough to swim in

 

[vshockey10]

Its hard but when you live in the midwest you deal with the hand you're dealt. 50* out yesterday, 16* and snowing today

 

[blasterdude]

Gotta love the crazy Midwest weather!
