if i am going to do 2x4oz on deck and 1x4oz on bottom of yellow tinted board, do i use pigment on both top layers? would a clear deckpatch be visible? should the patch go on before or after the layer that wraps the rails? Thanks for any help.
Do all three layers of the deck at once. The first layer is cut to the outline, second is the deck patch, third is the layer that wraps around the rails. Mix all of the lam resin + pigment that you need for both sides plus 8 oz. (for touch up), strain it, and then put in 3 separate containers. Catalyze each one when you need it. Lam the bottom first then the deck. You’ll be able to see the deck patch (darker outline). Cut the patch with a 1/2 diamond shape toward the nose and the rear same as the first layer outline. See the archives for how to do cut laps. Good luck.
