Gloss coat issues....potatoe chips...

I have had resin act this way once before. In certain areas the resin repels. I attributed this to a previous board I was in a hurry to glass and I used just any old rah on the garage to wipe it down before applying glass. It was super disappointing to see but I had to sand it down and repoor.  This occurrence isn't as bad and o can probably just sand it down then polish it, we were macking some chips after sanding for several hours.  We wiped down the board with a wet rag, bit as you know oil and water do not mix.   So I am jumping to the conclusion that we need to cit our cholesterol intake while prepping a board for hot and gloss coats.

Put A Cork In It!

So I am trying the use of cork to allow a cleaner transition between the plastic vent and leash plugs  and the hot and gloss coats. I am sure this is no knew invention. I was hoping to find a rubber stopper the same size.

Sanded Hollow Wooden Surfboard...

So for the first time, and with the help of my friend Ian, I have pondered the benefits and beauty in a hollow wooden surfboard that is dry then wet sanded but not polished. Results to come later this week.
