Cut the excess foam (or wood) from the surfboard blank using the jigsaw. Be sure to leave 1 to 1 1/2 inches (2.54 to 3.81 cm) excess from the surfboard template trace; this will give you room to shape without catastrophic error. 1  Saw with extreme caution, especially when cutting around the stringer on the nose.
In chemistry, a vanadate is a compound containing an oxoanion of vanadium generally in its highest oxidation state of +5. 4 anion, which is present in e.g. sodium orthovanadate and in solutions of V2O5 in strong base (pH > 13 ).
Vanadium metal takes a high polish and is regarded as one of the hardest of all metals. The metal is soluble in nitric and sulphuric acids but insoluble in hydrochloric acid, dilute sodium hydroxide, and dilute alcohol. It exhibits good corrosion resistance to a variety of acids and alkalis.
