In Response To: Epoxy: Help Building a Skim Board (Jack Sanderson)

Back in the day we used to make them out of 1/2" ply and poly resin. We curved them a bit by using lots of pressure in the center with 2x4s under each end of the board and them pouring a few galons of boiling water over the board. For non stick we used either sand or sugar sprinkled into the wet resin. This makes for a very non slip surface but it can be a bit hard on the feet if you use too much.

Good luck
