I have not used the blanks, but they looked good. I chose to make my own from scratch as it was $10 vs $150


This was due to it being a smallish pocket foil. Naturally, I then went and spent 5 hours making a huge mess building the blank...so... I would probably buy a blank for a larger board.

I am currently working on a divinycell h80 cored 105cm carbon pocket foil. I gorilla glued two sheets together to build and set the rocker.... :mrgreen:

I thought I had microballoons but it looks like I used them all up. I still have microfibers which won’t finish as smooth, I’ve never tried a finishing coat with microfibres. Do you think it would work ok? I guess it won’t matter too much since the whole thing is a bit Frankenstein as I won’t be blended colours in.
