So I've only been making surfboards for a couple years now and I make a lot of mistakes. I usually console myself with the fact that most are somewhat fixable. Today I may have found one that is not?
I glass with epoxy and use a scale to measure by weight. I usually put my scale in a box lid to keep glue off my workbench. Well, my box lid disappeared after the wife cleaned up (this is how I blame her for the whole thing). I got a new box lid but didn't notice that it wasn't flat. So my scale wasn't on a hard surface and not working correctly. It did seem like I was putting a lot of hardener in the cup but I consoled myself that I was using a scale. Anyway, I think I used about 25% too much hardener. I really don't know. I got the board laminated but it was gelling pretty fast. So what will the final effect be? Is it like putting in too much catalyst in poly resin. It will be more likely to crack? Thanks for any info...
