BXFR70 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 see attached pictures, board is brand new, no damage. space between the base material and metal edge, also a section where the base material is higher than the rear edge only for a cm or so.

dingbat Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yup, usually nothing to worry about. More likely to happen on one-off custom or non production run boards. Usually the gap would fill with epoxy in the press, but not always. I've got 2 Volkl RTs, a Madd 170, and a Coiler VSR in my office right now that all have that going on. The Volkls and the Madd are epoxy filled from the pressing process. The Coiler is open void, most likely due to the fact that Bruce is so diligent about squeegeeing excess epoxy out of his lams so the boards don't get weak spots.

BXFR70 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 thanks, a pencil point can be stuck in some of these, and wax fills them, if there is an open void, can water get to the core, or what is stopping the moisture from going that route?

I'd clean it properly and drip p-tex in and finish it. Do you iron on your wax ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti_knee Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'd invest in a P-Tex gun... it'll stick much better. I have a KUU which looks like a soldering iron (It most likely is one!) and the flat p-tex sticks. You won't get the carbon from the burning of the candle, and when you're done, you will hardly see the repair. Kuu Gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXFR70 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 yes I iron my wax in, that is partially how i noticed this. it is a kind of small area for me to sand to get adhesion to drip new PTEX in, the company wants to see it, and said if I want I can use it and send it back after the season, but i was more or less curious whether anyone has seen this before.
