would you like some foam with your water?

[demolition_x]

opened up the tray today...


id say the foam is beyond watersoaked. the water is just chilling in there in a puddle. if i lift the back up it all flows to the back and comes out the opening. this should be fun, but im glad im gonna fix this.

Ummm..Wow. That doesnt look good at all. :cool2: I just opened my ski up today to and it was dry as a desert.:woot:

put it all in a garbage bag and weigh it, it may be the only satisfaction you'll get from defoaming.

 

[Idok]

smells nice, doesnt it

 

[RoyalFlush@PCB]

Scott---have you done a before and after weigh-in on my old ski?!?

It'll feel like riding a lightweight when you're done. :cool2:

 

[demolition_x]

i can't wait to see wht it feels like dry.

 

[Shonuff]

Any idea where it's getting in?

 

[djkorn1]

Its a superjet. Water gets in everywhere.

 

[demolition_x]

but i will make sure there are no leaks when im done

Just opened mine up too and found the same thing. The water was just sitting there. Most of it wasn't soaked, but some was. The stuff that was most soaked was the foam right at the bond line all the way around. So I know I'm leaking at the bond line, but I'm reinforcing back there too, so that'll take care of that. I also found wet foam at the drive shaft tube and water tubes.

I left a piece of soaked foam out to see if it would dry. Been 2 weeks and still soaked. No way you could drill 2 holes in the hull, stand it up to drain and concider it dry like I've read on here. You'd have to let it sit for a year just to get all the water out, maybe not even then.

i opened up my sqaure only to find were water had been sitting between the top deck and bottom deck oem foam, never looked as if if penitrated the foam though, dug into it and it was compleatly dry. it always drove me crazy to here water sloshing back and forth in there though.

 

[oxnard111]

Why no sir I do not like water with my foam.

 

[demolition_x]

i think thats what it might be.

cause there is a definate void between the 2.


we will see i think im gonna start digging in a little.

But whens the last time your hull was in water?

 

[WFO Speedracer]

I was wondering and I do mean just that ,if you couldnt maybe drill a couple of holes with a hole saw and set up some cheap ass hair dryers to dry this stuff out.Obviously that wouldn't work on one this bad but its just a thought.

 

[demolition_x]

i don't think it would matter. your never gonna be able to get all that water out.

also if the water got in drying the foam out is a waste of time. gotta fix the problem...

 

[Rickster]

I am sooooo.... not looking forward to doing this to my square.:frown:
