We get a fair amount of epoxy sandwich construction boards come through the workshop that have been repaired with normal ding repair methods, be it glass and epoxy or that nasty putty stuff. The repair might look good and will last a few months before cracking and filling your board full of lovely salt water. It only takes a few minutes for the water to get into the eps core but it can take a few months for us to get it out again. We repair your Surftech, resin 8 or firewire surfboards with the correct materials that will last.
The ding putty was removed to reveal shattered high density foam and compressed eps.
