Keenan Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Run some tape around the edge and then apply 2 part epoxy. You can take a brown marker and color in the white parts before you do this, it wont look good but maybe better than the white areas. Let it set up overnight before removing the tape.

xxguitarist Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yep, the above would work. Clean up with isopropyl before hand, and I'd color over the top rather than in the bonding area. Also, by running the tape around, the meaning is to leave it standing up so that you have a form to pour into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Never seen a Burton Speed without a shredded topsheet. It's not structural, just let it keep doing its thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCrimson Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 thx for all the great help guysim not going to color it, just as long as it stop from future chipping in those areas The topsheet plastic does not bond very well. It just chips off the epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Run some tape around the edge and then apply 2 part epoxy. You can take a brown marker and color in the white parts before you do this, it wont look good but maybe better than the white areas. Let it set up overnight before removing the tape. I would recommend a one component urethane over a two part epoxy. The urethane will be much more flexible and it won't ever delaminate unless the underlying structure does. I would suggest 3M 5200 (you can get it at most Home Depot's or places that sell stuff for boats). You can tint it with dry pigment or paint it after it cures. It skins over in 24 hours and cures in seven days at room temperature. Good things come to those who wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
