- Hey Bra,
- So the burning question now: What kind of really stong glue do you use
- that wont melt the foam? You guys have about got me convinced to snap this
- puppy back together, but I want to make sure I'm not wasting my time. I've
- tried some things on boards before (one particularly humiliating attempt to
- re-laminate a badly de-lammed deck comes to mind) and ended up with a leaden
- torpedo by the time I was done adding resin. Anyway, I'd think that regular
- epoxy might melt the foam, any thoughts?
