Salut,
my 30% Paddle is shortened to 1,90 m as I wanted it. Unfortunately I didn´t have in mind that my hardboard is so much thinner and sinks deeper in the water than my ISup I used before.
How can I shorten it another 5 to 7 cm?
Heaten the glue until I can take out the grip? Does this work?
What glue should I take to fix the grip afterwards?
Thanks in advance et bonne journée,
Michi

However, it is recommended to first cut the shaft, then heat it to remove the handle. TYhis way you do not run the risk to weaken the strengh of the remaining shaft. And if you mess up, you just have to order a spare handle.
Yes, it works, I have done it many times.Michi a écrit : Heaten the glue until I can take out the grip? Does this work?

Re: Shorten the paddle
Merci Coolas.
Do you know how long the part of the handle in the shaft is? I estimate, about the 7 cm I want to cut?
And what kind of glue do you use?

Re: Shorten the paddle
I think it is less than 7 cm.
I use 5mn epoxy glue (such as araldite). So you can re-melt it later just in case.
