Thanks Craig, Dimitri on Board Repair Suggestions
Craig and Dimitri, thanks for the response on how to refinish a board. The paint store said that if the surface is already finished with epoxy nothing but epoxy will stick to it. So I bought clear epoxy finish, the kind that has to be mixed 1 to 1. Unfortunately, because the primary use is to finish concrete floors, it only comes in gallon containers for a total of $80. I gulped at the cost but a new board runs near 2 grand so oh well. Each of the parts looked opaque in the cans which worried me but once applied it was clear. I used salt for the texture because Penny had some un-iodized salt she was trying to get rid of. Anyway, the surface came out beautiful. It really brings out the wood grain and I have plenty of traction. I have already sailed it 4 times and it is holding up well. Thanks again.
