Looking for help/advice to clean up the edges of my first spray. This will be a sanded finish (to 400) no gloss coat.
Layup the lam as scheduled, a brush stroke of hotcoat over the design, tape off & pen a pinline to hide the bleed, then hotcoat as usual?
Glass it, sand it, then put on the pinlines. You can do a resin pinline on top of the hot coat (with wax in the resin) and leave it like that. You can also do acrylic pinlines and spray clear coat on 'em to preserve them. The ones on the attached photo are hand drawn with an acrylic pen, kinda like a Posca pen but cheaper. Sprayed with acrylic lacquer and it’s holding up so far.
You can do that but, sand the 1st hotcoat before you pinline it or you’re going to have bonding problems with the 2nd hot coat. BTW what brand of foam is that? It looks like the open cell Walker /Excell stuff which is not the most airbrush friendly foam to work with.

Thanks for the tips! It is Bennett foam & the spray is Krylon H2O rattlecan
