full carbon foil box tutorial step 1

Step 1: Preparing your blank


Your core must have a double recess with corresponding dimensions (refer to the dimensioned plan provided with your box).

Safety Equipment Required

  • Position the box inside the recess to check. Be sure to verify that there is enough clearance to include your reinforcement fabric.

Step 2: Preparing reinforcement fabrics


It is essential to apply a lamination inside the box recess to reinforce the structure. Do not glue the box directly into your EPS core.

Safety Equipment Required
Materials and Tooling Required

  • Cut your fabric in order to ensure an overlap of 10 cm around the box to facilitate the process and create a connection with the hull lamination.

Step 3: Preparing your foil box


Your box has been sanded to improve adhesion during installation. Warning, steps 3 and 4 must be executed simultaneously. Make sure to prepare both steps prior to mixing your resins.

Safety Equipment Required
Materials and Tooling Required

  • Thoroughly degrease the bonding surfaces of the box using a degreasing agent.
  • Apply a layer of silica-filled resin to all bonding surfaces of the box (bottom and side of box and carbon sandwich plate) to compensate for any gaps between the box and its support.

Step 4: Placement


We recommend applying resin to the fabrics flat on a tarp before positioning them in your board core. It is also advised to apply a thin layer of resin with a brush to the area of the core where the reinforcement fabrics are placed.

Materials and Tooling Required
(or )

  • Position your impregnated fabrics into the recess.
  • Place the pre-coated box (step 3) firmly into the board.
  • Create a fillet joint around the box using your remaining filled resin.
  • Add your consumables: peel-ply, micro-perforated film, and breather fabric.
  • Place the entire setup under vacuum at 250g of pressure.

Step 5: Laminating the hull


We recommend applying resin to the fabrics flat on a tarp before positioning them in your board core. It is also advised to apply a thin layer of resin with a brush to the area of the core where the reinforcement fabrics are placed.

Safety Equipment Required
Materials and Tooling Required
(or )

  • Pre-impregnate your fabric flat on a tarp, ensuring you scrape off any excess resin before placing it on the board. This step is best done with two people.
  • Place your usual consumables: peel-ply, micro-perforated film, and PET breather fabric like Feltrex.
  • Place the entire setup under vacuum at 250g of depression.

Step 6: Opening your rails


When your board is fully completed, the final step before hitting the water is to open your rails.

Safety Equipment Required
Materials and Tooling Required

  • Drill a hole with a diameter larger than your copying router bit at the designated spot for inserting the T-nuts.
  • Position your copying router bit in the hole so that the guide wheel contacts the edge of the rail before beginning your cut. The minimum radius of the rail cutout is 4mm, so it is designed for a router bit with a maximum diameter of 8mm.
  • Route the opening by following the rail cutout.
