EPOXY Shaping 101 with Greg Loehr is a 97 minute instructional dvd that teaches the viewer how to shape EPS Foam into a finished foil ready to glass. Why Epoxy? Epoxy resin and EPS foam have been around for years now but these materials haven't been widely used because of a scarcity of information of just how easy it is to make surfboards with this new technology. Epoxy resins and hardeners have vastly improved in the last several years making them much easier to use. Boards made with EPS Foam and Epoxy resin tend to be lighter, stronger, flex more and be better for the environment and board maker than traditional foam and resin. This dvd starts with an explanation on how EPS foam is made and what tools are needed to work with it. Greg shows how to cut custom blanks out of a block of foam which minimizes shaping time. This program teaches all the tricks to shape EPS foam, including concaves and V bottoms. Watch Greg shape from start to finish 2 surfboards. A Rocket Fish and a 6'2". After the blank is shaped Greg than covers the mysterious yet simple process of sealing the foam to insure it's lightness, before laminating. EPOXY Shaping 101 with Greg Loehr is 97 minutes of solid instruction with no filler. This dvd is award winning Producer, Carl Ackerman's 4th in the 101 series. The quality of the camera work and editing speaks for itself. Recently The price has been reduced from $50 to $30 making it an exceptional value.
