After a small hiatus due to friends visiting, we are back on track and building. I spent the weekend building a new rocker jig, stealing the idea from Poison, it cost about 100$ to build but I think in the long run its going to be worth it, and I'm planning a second board for my wife so it seemed a sound investment. So we got the jig built, got the bottom deck glued and repaired and re sanded, and glued the spine down tonight, we will see tomorrow if it all held and how its going. When we went to glue down all the top slats were off to the side and the glue was spread under the ribs and spine, then the top slats were brought back over, fastened down and then we saw the spaces where the glue was missed or thin. At this point I wish I 1) had a small bottle of gorilla glue, or 2) had made the slats a little thinner. Just for anyone looking to build the same, when it comes to gluing, think small bottle or thinner slats, albeit thinner slats may be less strong... Attachments:

Sure ... after the foam is hard, and you start to trim the foam , use an electric knife and then sand down to the top of the ribs with at least a 12" x 2" strip of wood ....I would use 40 or 60 grit and don't go too far, the foam will compress, when you clamp the strips or panels to the board. Just smooth it out to relieve stress on the wood. I want to do a 16" SUP and I can't decide if I want to use spray foam or pink or blue Styrofoam blocks shaped the the ribs first...

I was thinking of using some blocks of foam but using the spary stuff to fill the edges and "glue the blocks in..
