Dependant on the specification of the foil we choose wood cores from a variety of species: Yellow and Western Cedar, Columbian Pine, Ash and Balsa or a combination of these to achieve the required flex/weight ratio and then where allowed use re-inforcement materials bonded with epoxy resins.
Such materials include glassfibre or Carbon rovings in twill, Bi-axial, or Uni- directional weaves.
We finish the foils by successive stages of sanding up to 2000grit, and finally with the use of polishing compounds achieve a fair and very highly polished finish.
Most of our foils are clear finished but where a white finish is required we use 2 pack PU.
A budget range of foils is also available for which Columbian-pine /Western cedar cores are used and these are epoxy coated and taken to 600 grit before final polishing.
All foils are supplied with hardwearing tips.
