i just picked up a 42" 484 wakeskate for free but is beat to hell. Im gonna refinish it and use it as a rail board. I want to add some weight to it so i was wondering if using marine sealant, or epoxy, or fiberglass resin will do the trick and if it will hold up.

A heavy coat of sealant or two would be the way to go Wink

i think because the board is cracking everywhere, no delaming however, i think im gonna wrap it in fiberglass then apply some resin, then sealent, make my own wood composite board. Free board so worth a try
