Thinking of attempting my first volan work on a board and have a question. I want to tint the bottom using normal 6 oz cloth and then put on a volan deck patch for the cool color effect. My question is will the board be too weak in the nose area if I lay 7.5 oz deck patch and only 6 oz over?
Essentially the nose would only have 6 oz on it… was concerned that’d be too weak and provide a nice breaking point for the board. Thoughts?
I assume this is for a longboard. If it were me I’d do 2 layers of 6oz+deckpatch and not fret about the “additional weight”. Your rails need love, too.
If this is for a shortboard where weight is actually a concern then I’d do a minimum of 2 layers of 4oz+deckpatch.
