Some of you might be interested in this:
We set up a course to introduce the basics in 5 days. The idea is that each student builds a board from scratch. Time is a bit tight and we may not get to do the fin installation, either that or we'll drop the gloss coat and install fins after sand coat and miss out on glossing. Whichever way it goes it is fun. Finishes this Saturday.

Day 4 now over. Lots of sanding with fancy tools and hands!
Glosscoats and even playing with tints and swirls.
Not bad for a first board.
OK, OK so I only had one resin tint, but what a lovely blue!!
