If that's the case - and it's not clear from the poster's story - then yeah that's a problem - F both of em.
The impression I got from the thread is that the shaper shaped the board and the customer took the board to get glassed and that everything wan't under the same roof.
No indication from the poster whether the glasser who did the work was recommended by the shaper either.
The details are fuzzy in this part and IMO the details matter.
That was my board
Shaper recommended that Glasser
Honestly- I paid the Glasser and was happy to do so. The glass job looked cool and it was a super heavy glass job. Was I worried I overpaid? Maybe. But I didn’t care. I was happy to pay it.
In fact I even texted the shaper telling him how stoked I was on how the board came out.
I never once complained about price when I bought it.
The problems came later when the poor glass job didn’t hold up and the board sucked in about 10 lbs of water and ruined the entire board and caused a delam.
The glass job wasn’t done properly and was done poorly.
You’re conflating the issue. I wasn’t complaining about the price but rather the glassing job sucked
