We offer both epoxy surfboard repair kits and fiberglass surfboard repair kits, so you can choose the safest and most effective solution for your board.
Epoxy vs. Polyester: What's the Difference?
Not sure which type of resin you need? Here's what to know:
- Epoxy resin is the safest option if you're unsure what type of board you have. It works on both epoxy and fiberglass (PU) boards without damaging the foam.
- Polyester resin should only be used on fiberglass (PU) boards. If used on an epoxy board, it can melt the foam and permanently damage the board.
If you’re not sure which type your board is, choose an epoxy resin surfboard repair kit to be safe.
