Good job. You and the wife are both happy.
i would have echoed Bud's suggestion but, sounds like you did good with the board and picking the wife!
Surfed the board a few times now happy.
How do i better hide all my handy work, while it doesnt looks like a dogs breakfast alot of the samding markes are noticable and I Have taken the polish of parts of the bottom. i dont want to sand a huge amount as I need that will weaken the fins, i have used varying grits of paper and finished with a wet and dry but is apparent i perhaps should sand again and perhaps use a filler coat.
I tried going over them with resin and then wet rubbing them but i couldnt fill some areas. as the resin was to runny - can i thicken up my resin somehow but keepit clean? A friend mention icing sugar?
Who cares what it looks like if it surfs good!
…And in the end, a good wife is better than many good boards…
