Pine Needle Ding Repair

Cool, Funny, Entertaining... but wrong. The only problem with pine needless is that they hold moisture. Moisture, water that is, will destroy the foam within a surfboard. It will cause the foam to rot and cause delamination. Unless the pine needles were COMEPLETELY free of any moisture, which is very unlikely due to the fact that they are organic and tend to hold small amounts of moisture, it will cause eventual damage and delamination. The best fillers are as follows: for small repairs- q-cell, cabosil, microballons and milled fiberglass; for large repairs- polyurethane pour foam (2-3lb density).
