It's not mine and it's not my cup of tea but it's cheap and it looks like they would be open to negotiation, looks like it would defiantly be a project , maybe someone here would be interested , Crossville is somewhere between Gadsden and Ft. Payne , Al. , at any rate here is the link ...

I am actually going to be gluing the tubbie onto the ski with it later on in this thread , that is exactly how I did the other one, IMO epoxy does not stick to foam that well , I have used it in the past on foam plane parts as well , so how good is the bond really, 5200 is what it is, I...

Thanks

Try number two, this time I got two giant pots of boiling water , the first one I poured over the foam , then I flipped it and poured the next one onto the epoxy and immediately put it back in the bending fixture. Here we have a tubbie that damn near perfectly fit's a 300SX , notice that the...

I decided to go ahead and skip forward a bit, nobody wants to watch glue dry Thes are Superjet tubbies and of course they don't really fit anything especially not a 300SX , the usual installation involves screws ratchet strap and a lot of bending things into place, on the last install that...

It"s 95% foamed , there are a few voids and the pieces are cut and laid in, anything else will be filled with Gorilla glue and won't matter, it is a different way of foaming a tubbie, the results are the same. One side of what you are gluing has to be dampened with water, if you want maximum...

Part is dry and trimmed , I also ground the edges because it is getting glassed onto the ski. Next up is foaming the tubbie, you would normally usually use pour foam, I don't have any, what I do have is blue Dow foam and Goreilla glue so here it go , at least I know it will not absorb water...

Mold is cleaned up, as usual it took acetone a sharpened tongue depressor and some elbow grease to get it clean, I followed up with cleaner wax and a mini buffer .

For what exactly, 61x , 62t, 64x are all different , google the Yamaha part number, a bunch of possibilities should pop up including anything on Ebay..

Just a suggestion but you need more detailed pics, I can't make heads or tail off of those pics.

If I ever did decide to sell sponsons I would make my own molds and there are some changes I would make, I would make them not quite as wide which would put them at more of an angle , I would put the screw recess in them and I would taper the ends more, that's a big if ATM . This is a mold I am...

Now a couple of more points I want to address here , I skipped a few steps , I know all the steps I just chose not to do them , if it was something really important you wouldn't want to. The first step is installing breather mesh, which what I have used in the past is just fine plastic...

So that has to dry a bit before doing anything else , now I am going to show you what no one else ever does , the aftermath. I know all the waxing and PVA seems like overkill but there is a damn good reason, that reason is stuff still gets stuck to the molds , most of it comes off with a...

BK knows whats up, the deal was I wasn't supposed to sell any, the deal was adhered to, I haven't sold any.

I used epoxy since I am glassing these in and gluing them on it just made sense to me , normally on these you woulduse vinyl ester resin ,it would cut the drying time down to hours instead of days , of course you could also use fast setting epoxy, I don't have any here ATM , you defiantly...

I have used those UFO'S before with epoxy cabosil and had them come loose , it depends on what you are using them for but the G flex is more flexible to absorb shocks, cabosil is hard as a brick bat, just my two cents, don't spend it all in one place.

I threw some heat on it last night and this morning for a few minutes with a small electric heater, it only reaches 95 degrees. Then I popped it out of the mold , I used a Bondo spreader and worked it up under the edges, continuing all the way around till it popped out. I was very surprised...

Every day on Facebook I see the sane thing, someone posts up (I am wanting to do this, has anybody done it) the answer is always a link to here or PWCT where you can find a detailed thread showing exactly how it is done , so what is the purpose of all the pages on Facebook, to direct you...

The G flex is good stuff and not as rigid as epoxy-cabosil , it is probably better for mounting stuff like this .

I will most likely leave it to kick in the mold overnight, maybe even longer, it's been kind of cool here as of late which slows the cure time by a lot., They pull out of the mold a lot easier when fully cured for sure , I don't get in as big a hurry as I used to.
