UV resin is great for small repairs or short-term fixes. It comes in liquid form and dries to a hard material after it's exposed to the sun. Search online or look in your local surf shop to buy the resin before starting your repairs. UV resin will hold up to most normal surfing dings and cracks for 2-3 months. After that, you will need to repair the board again or have it professionally repaired. Q-Cell filler acts as a replacement for the foam because it expands when it cures. Pour 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of resin into a cup and slowly add the Q-Cell filler until the mixture is the consistency of toothpaste.  You can find Q-Cell filler at most surf shops, or you can order it online through retailers like Amazon or eBay. If the crack is very large or you removed a lot of rotten foam, use 2–3 fluid ounces (59–89 mL) of resin to start out. In a covered area out of the sun, squeeze the resin into the crack first, and then smooth the resin over the crack. Make sure the resin is touching the outer shell of the board.  As you're working, push any bubbles out of the resin as they form. Try to make the resin as smooth as possible on the outside, but don't worry if there are a few small bumps. Once the resin is applied, wrap a piece of plastic wrap around the board and over the crack. This will hold the resin in place while it cures and mold it to match the general shape of the board.  Try to avoid pressing on the plastic wrap after it's on the board, which can dent the resin before it cures. If you don't have plastic wrap, use a plain piece of clear plastic and tape it to the board. Move the board into the sun to cure the resin. It will turn into a gel, and then harden after 5 minutes. Let it sit in the sun for an additional 5 minutes to harden completely. If the resin isn't hardened after 10 minutes, place it in the shade for 5 minutes, and move it back into the sun.

. Being able to drink yourself into a blackout isn't a sign that you're a good bro, it's a sign that you've got a drinking problem. While it may be true that bros tend to enjoy a few brews when they get together, it's important to know your limits and stay on the right side of them. Limit your drinking, never drive after drinking, and stay responsible. Aside from all the legal and responsibility problems over-drinking can get you into, it's also just a bad idea for your health. All those beers are full of empty calories, meaning that you'll develop an unbecoming bro-belly from all those empties and late night Taco Bell runs when you get the drunk munchies. Try to cut back. This is a big one, bros. If there's one thing that gives you a bad name, it'll be treating women poorly, talking down to them, objectifying them, and being rude in general. Learn to talk to women one-on-one, calmly and with courtesy.  Showing off is a turn off. You don't have to beat on your chest like an ape or an idiot to attract women. Let your natural masculinity and your charm do the work, not your goofy machismo. Don't assign numbers to girls. It's disrespectful, crude, and will work against you. Bros love dude-food, it's true. Bacon, french fries, pizza. What more could a bro need? The answer is fiber, green vegetables, and vitamins. While eating a diet rich in red meats and potatoes sounds great for building muscle and throwing barbecues, it's also a shortcut to bowel and prostate cancer. Bummers for any bro.  Try and introduce cooking into your routine. Bros should be good cooks! Experiment with making your own food and eating as healthily as possible. Avoid frozen dinners, fast food, and other junk food. Peeling out at stoplights, cutting off cars in traffic, or honking your horn at hotties you see on the sidewalk doesn't make you cool bro, it makes you a dork. A bro shouldn't have to compensate for feelings of inadequacy by revving his car engine. Work on your self-confidence instead of messing around in your car.
