The Creamsicle Project 2

I wasn't sure I wanted to have anything to do with this board, but I thought I should take a look inside.

Strip off a bit of fiberglass...

to reveal some true ugliness.

The horror, the horror...

The worst repair I've ever seen.

Up close and personal.

This is what whoever "fixed" this board glassed over.


Hmmm...what to do...


They didn't even bother to fill in the snap.

Or align the stringers.

A bad repair on a bad repair - with a huge chunk out of the rail.


Holes.


Hit all of the resin with a belt sander.

Still just plain grizzly.

Hit it again.

And again...

Lost cause.



How in the hell did they do this? It's like they stabbed it with a knife to put it out of its misery.

Huge chunks off the nose...

Major surgery.




Snap-ectomy


Re-attach...


Run out of glue...
