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.
