I'd say that Bert might be right with very low density cores (1# density or less). But with 1.5 lb. density and up, we have never had heat related problems and I feel there is no need for vents. We use mostly 2# density in FL and have never had problems, even as hot as it gets there. Also, there may be a need in Western AUS because of very cold water and a hot landmass. This may make your particular climate different than our experience. These climatactic problems wouldn't apply in the US.
i was gonna mention temperature variation ...anecdotal eveidence ive collected suggests about 30 degrees celsius variation is acceptable before you need a vent ,over here it can go from 0 to over 90 in a car on a summers day....definatly need one here... regards BERT
have to wake up this old thread again.
I want to build a wood covered eps longboard.
In this thread the opinion is
1 lb density -> use vent!
1.5 lb density -> not recommended
I have 1.25 EPS (20kg/m³). What should I do?
Especially if I do a splitable Board again. Then I would need to use 2 vents. Doesn’t like this idea…
