Anyone have any thoughts on applying yacht coatings on an epoxy pop-out to 1.) add a more exciting color than what is typical of those things and 2.) add some weight to the board. There are some pretty sophisticated products out there that are pretty strong but not particularly easy to apply. Thanks.

I’ve used awlgrip two- part polyurethane for years working with boats, and don’t see any reason it wouldn’t work well for an epoxy board. When fully cured it is very, very hard and durable. They make a brushable version which is what you would probably want, as spraying requires a fresh air hood if you want to keep your lungs functioning. The key is in the preparation. ANY imperfections look worse because the awlgrip has such a high shine to it.

The best means of application is spray in a controlled environment, just like you`d use for an automotive finish. AwlGrip Marine Finishes, http://www.uspaint.com/topcoats.html
