How much tail rocker is a really subjective topic. For a longboard I've added 1 - 1.5 inches. You might need to take a best guess and experiment. I would go with 1" for a smaller board.Woodbuddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053930936395345996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884342129778754155.post-27248600439168065302016-12-07T15:06:17.534-08:002016-12-07T15:06:17.534-08:00There are guys that build their boards without a c...There are guys that build their boards without a centre stringer and that does add a little flexibility. Wooden boards tend to be stiffer that PU/Glass boards but you can compensate for that by designing a little extra tail rocker in the board.

Just wondering what the silica thickening agent is called?

Just wondering whether you coated the entire inside of the board with the epoxy resin or just the lower half? If it was the entire inside, how did you coat the top half, as I'm thinking it would make the timber too stiff if you applied it before glueing it in place and therefore wouldn't allow the timber to bend to the shape of the board. Would really appreciate your feedback.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579119747191339638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884342129778754155.post-74435539644854544032016-02-29T00:29:13.951-08:002016-02-29T00:29:13.951-08:00This post's, inspired me.
