Fins plug and air vent installed...
This is a pretty exciting part of board building. You've already...
- Designed the board with Akushaper
- Cut the skeleton
- Milled the bead and cove rails (which you can see in the tail portion in this photo)
- Built the rocker table
- Made your top and bottom decks
- Glued it all down to the skeleton
- Shaped/Sanded the board into shape
- Laminated the 6 oz cloth top (2 layers and bottom 1 layer)
- Glassed on the fin(s)
....and now the you are able to put a real time line on when the board will have it's first surf. Tonight we'll flip the board, finish/sand the glassed on fin, so we can put a 1st of possibly two clear coats we call the "hot coat". Sometimes you can get away with a single hot coat that is glossy and full enough to pass as the top glossy coat. Sometimes the hot coat needs to be sanded for blemishes so a more perfect Gloss coat can be reapplied.
