If your talking about the Solarez in the tube it works good for small dings, cracks and holes another option is board bog, I used solarez to i found this stuff, it's feels more like wood putty to put on dries pretty hard and smooth also can be removed easier than solarez if you want to professionally fix it later. But solarez will last for a fair while I've repaired boards with solarez 5-10'years ago and it's still sealed.
I've also had boards glassed in the UV resin and the are fine it sets hard as a rock, no different to normal resin..
An interesting concept, this guy is obviously an old hand at making boards and its worth while just watching to get some ideas, the resin also seems to give you a time advantage if you are just starting out and haven't got the experience to laminate fast with conventional polyester resin. be interesting to find out more about the strength of the stuff compared to polyester and epoxy
The issue with some UV resins is that they continue to go off in UV light. In other words they keep getting harder, go brown and become brittle.
The Solarez stuff is great though.
Some major surfboard factories use it for part of the laminating process to eliminate waiting times, some people believe that it is stronger than catalysed resin as there is less stress, shrinkage and heat on the resin during cross linking.
Most factories use a powder additive for the resin, not pre-mixed like this. The Solarez fibre filled tubes work well. They also sell Solarez epoxy which is great for all repairs especially on EPS type boards.
