if you spray the board after you glass will that mess up the hot coat stage

I assume you sprayed a sanded hot coat. This shouldn’t be a problem, as long as you used a water based paint and didn’t lay it on too thickly.

Most of us will use rattle can clear to finish coat a board with spray on a hot coat.

When you say “sprayed hotcoat” do you mean just an acrylic sealer or actualy resin shot out a spray gun?

Thanks

can you do that put resin into a spraygun and hot coat that way. it seems to me that would be a royal pain in the @$$. with it kicking in the gun you would never be able to get it clean.

No. “Spraying a sanded hotcoat” means you glass the board, hotcoat it, sand the hotcoat, then paint over that. Then you protect your artwork with a clearcoat like Krylon.

Makes a Surftech looking board, like a kid in 7th grade would do.

Go for it if you like that, you won’t after one board.

Spraying the foam is the best way to create a work of art, with glass, hot, and gloss giving it the depth effect.

Go check out a surfshop, and you’ll see.

I have never sprayed a hot coat (why would you need to…?) but I have sprayed lam resin before, mainly for colour touch up jobs. You can thin the resin out with acetone, which will then evaporate out of the finished resin coat. It is advisable to use extra catalyst.
