I'm looking to make a Aluminium/Fiberglass composite. Anyone done one of these before?
I've had experience with FG doing car bodykits etc so pretty handy with it, never tried making a deck though.

My cousin made a board with a kick in tech a while ago that he gave to me cos he didnt want it, i never ended up mounting it
but im thinking about cutting it down into like a s9 lacey shape sorta thing but im not sure if it will be strong enough.
Im thinking of putting some fibreglass on it to strengthen it a bit
should i just put 1 layer on each side?

yeah good thinking steve i had planned to do something similar but i had considered that but you made me think again. i am pressing something today, experimenting with a hardwood veneer, pine veneer, carbon fibre and fibreglass combo???? wish me luck.

Building a concrete mold how you desribed Mattys would create a mold that would not have equal dispersion of pressure. You cannot mold the male side directly from the female side as the width of the board needs to be accounted for otherwise radius's (radii?) of drops and concaves will be the same and they need to be different.

Thin plys lots and lots of pressure and I would sugest maybe a cut out or not much extra material around the corners of the foot platform of the blank as you could imagine this is where the greatest stress would be

i see what your saying fitz..
1.2 - 1.6mm veneer can bend into crazy shapes!!
the mold just has to have an equal dispersion of pressure that hugs all of the wood at the same time, if there was a gap in the mold where a lot of pressure was released, then it should be much more prone to snapping in the mold....

Shouldn't matter if its non linear or not. Your x-plys go against the norm anyway and every deck has them.
Like Jez said, thinner plys are the trick.
