Epoxy

By , About.com Guide

Definition: Epoxy is a plastic-like resin used in the manufacturing of surfboards. Epoxy is fast becoming as popular as polyurethane resin as it is lighter and stronger. Epoxy has been used by surfboard shapers for decades, but not until the untimely closing of Clark Foam did epoxy become a budding industry standard. Some comeplaints about epoxy use is that it "yellows" faster and lacks some of the flex/energy of its polyurethane counterparts.
