so i have a friend who says that boards with resin have a dark colored ply of wood in the middle of the deck. hes ignorant so im not sure if this is true, and was wondering. if this isnt true, are there any telltale signs of resin on the deck itself?

btw this isnt one of those things when im the friend.

so if its resin the whole board is resin, all the plys not just one? so he was wrong.

no dude, resin is a kind of adhesive that they use. the board is still made out of wood. but yeah i kinda wanna know how you would tell if a board uses resin epoxy.

resin is a glue, there is not sign of it on your board except for the fact that it is sometimes stronger. different colored plies are just dyed wood.

fuck now i sounds like a n00b. fuck. so how does the type of adhesive make the board stronger and give it more pop? and yea, how can you tell?

the resin is harder, making the board more stiff. I absolutely love my enjoi resin 7. Best deck i've owned.

Resin decks don't, but I know that Darkstar Armorlights have a dark ply in the middle.

the dark play in the middle is carbon fiber it keeps the board stiff as hell

resin in the glue used to put it together.

usually they have multi-colored plys, and are noticeably thinner than most decks.

all the resins i owned were amazing, definatley better than a regualr 7-ply.
