Tiga 271 repair
I have a second hand Tiga 271 which has a damaged nose, I am going to repair it myself but am not sure whether to use epoxy or
polyester resin. Anybody else done this themselves before, all advice welcome?

bodger right name for the job
look up strand fiberglass if they are nearby use them otherwise contact andy at wet and windy (bristol ws shop) he will sell you all
the stuff u need
use epoxy only I recomend west
dont fall into the beginners trap of trying to patch and bodge open it up remove the damaged area then rebuild think light big dollops
of epoxy are out pack out holes with polystyrene
most important the inside must be dry ,as should be the rest of the board if not you are wasteing your time
the nose is a good place to repair as no strenght is required in that area just keep the water out will be enough
pies
Its not the number/size of the toys that count is how much they are used
