Very sexy build!

Any plans for a 38" or 40" ?

Very cute. That acrylic really comes out clear. You get your logo printed at a shop, or do you have a white ink printer?

Thanks guys, no plans for a bigger one at this time, allthough I would build one custom if someone wanted one

It was vacuum and that is one of my vinyl die cuts under the epoxy. I usually use water slide but it wouldn't show up as clear on the fabric.

i was looking into something very similar to this build for a guy that wanted a mini-dancer, but i couldn't come up with a shape... i like this though.

I wasn't planning on any kick, but how much did you add? It might be an idea i'd be willing to play with.

My other question was about the grip, do you mind describing the process you used???

Its 3/4" starting at the rear truck hole.
I have this material, treated acrilic used for golf cart windows that I use for visors for my helmets I make. When I route out the visors I take the extra pieces, pull of the protectant and run it trough the router catching the shavings which I then mix in with the hot coat of resin on the top of the board.

thanks for the quick response, and all the info.

I will try to grab up some polycarbonate scrap at work tomorrow (lowes) and see what i can do with it.

One last question (if you cant tell i like to build lol) but when you build this do you glass, hotcoat, then cloth, then hotcoat again? or inverse of that (cloth, then glass), it seems structurally speaking, that you should do glass first, but i wanted to make sure i'm headed in the right direction here. I will try a cloth coat on my next glassed board. Thanks for all the help man!

I glassed and fabric both sides at once in a vacuum bag. Hot coat with mylar on bottom then hot coat with acrilic on top!
glass first with fabric on top
