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 is found in about 65 different minerals including vanadinite, carnotite and patronite. It is also found in phosphate rock, certain iron ores and some crude oils in the form of organic complexes. Vanadium metal is obtained by reducing vanadium(V) oxide with calcium in a pressure vessel.
