Quick Field Repair for Polyester Surfboards
The Ding All Sun Cure Mini Kit puts a professional-grade surfboard repair in your bag for under $15. The 1 oz tube of Sun Cure Polyester Fiberfill Resin cures in minutes when exposed to sunlight, so you can fix a ding at the beach and be back in the water the same session. No mixing cups, no catalysts, no guesswork. Squeeze, spread, cure in the sun.
Sun Cure is fiberfilled for structural strength, meaning it does not just seal the surface but actually fills and reinforces the damaged area so the repair holds up to continued use. The formula is non-yellowing, so the cured repair stays clear and does not discolor the board over time.
Important compatibility note: Sun Cure Polyester Fiberfill Resin is formulated for polyester fiberglass surfboards and composites. It should not be used on epoxy boards constructed with EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam blanks. If your board is an epoxy construction, use a dedicated epoxy repair kit instead.
What Is Included
- One 1 oz (28 g) tube of Sun Cure Polyester Fiberfill Resin
- Application mixing stick
- Sandpaper for finishing
How UV Cure Resin Works
Sun Cure resin remains workable in the tube and stays liquid in shade. Once applied to the ding, exposure to direct sunlight triggers the UV cure cycle. In typical South Florida sun, the resin firms up in roughly 5 minutes. Thicker fills may take a few additional minutes. After the resin cures, use the included sandpaper to smooth the repair flush with the board's surface.
Because the resin requires no chemical catalyst, you can work at any temperature and there is no pot-life pressure. Apply as much or as little as you need, cap the tube, and save the rest for the next session.
Why Keep a Mini Kit in Your Bag
Small dings and pressure cracks let water into the foam core of a polyester board. Even a pinhole can waterlog a section over weeks of surfing, adding weight and weakening the board structurally. The Sun Cure Mini Kit is compact enough to tuck into any surf bag and affordable enough to keep a spare. A two-minute fix at the car after a session is a fraction of the cost and hassle of a full board repair shop visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do you use a ding repair kit on a surfboard?
- Clean and dry the damaged area, then apply a small amount of Sun Cure Polyester Fiberfill Resin directly into the ding using the included stick. Expose the filled area to direct sunlight for approximately 5 minutes until the resin is firm. Sand flush with the included sandpaper. For deeper dings, apply in thin layers, curing each layer before adding the next.
- What is the difference between polyester and epoxy surfboard repair kits?
- Polyester resin kits like Sun Cure are designed for traditional polyester fiberglass boards. Epoxy resin kits are formulated for epoxy-construction boards with EPS foam cores. Using polyester resin on an EPS blank can damage the foam. Check your board's construction before selecting a repair kit.
- Can I use the Sun Cure Mini Kit on an epoxy surfboard?
- No. Sun Cure Polyester Fiberfill Resin is not compatible with EPS (expanded polystyrene) epoxy boards. It is designed for polyester fiberglass surfboards and composites only. Using it on an epoxy board may melt or damage the foam blank.
- How long does Sun Cure resin take to cure?
- In direct sunlight, Sun Cure resin cures in approximately 5 minutes. Cure time varies with UV intensity, cloud cover, and fill depth. The resin stays workable in shade, giving you time to apply and shape it before moving the board into sunlight to cure.
- How much does ding repair cost compared to a repair shop?
- The Sun Cure Mini Kit handles small to moderate field repairs for a fraction of shop repair costs. Professional shop repairs typically start at $25 or more for minor dings, while the kit handles multiple small repairs for $13.99. It is best suited for surface dings and cracks on polyester boards, not major structural damage.
- Does Sun Cure resin yellow over time?
- No. Sun Cure Polyester Fiberfill Resin is formulated to be non-yellowing, so cured repairs stay clear and do not discolor the board's surface over time.
- Where can I buy the Ding All Sun Cure Mini Kit?
- The Sun Cure Mini Kit is available at Island Water Sports in store and online. It is stocked as part of the surf accessories and ding repair category.
