Discolored Board??

Having a friend glass my board and I went over to see the board after the laminating resing was complete. The bottom cloth wraps around the rails about 2 inches, due to this there is a little difference in the color. Can you tell me the reason for this?? Am I screwed with a discolored board or will it sand out?? Any help would be appreciated!

That is the nature with overlapping cloth. Even the best glassers and sanders can’t fool my eye. The best thing to do when concerned about asthetics in this type of case is to have a uniform lap. The opacity in the lap will show, but the eye, seeinging it balanced, will not “flinch” and “cringe” as much. Lots of glassers save time and materials buy lapping by eye. I do that. A good uniform lap is achieved by taping the board off when laminating and then trimming with a razor blade shortly after the cloth and resin has set fro a couple of hours. If you use a tape that withstands the heat generated by the resin “going off” your are in shape. If you use standard masking tape you are screwed becaus the glue will stick to your blank. If you think it is unsightly to wee opacity in the lap, wait until you pigment a glass job with blue tints. You will really see a discoloration. Accept int and pin line it and mak it look like part of the desing. Good luck. PS. I admire glassers for having to put up with all the crap involved. I enjoy shaping and I realize that glassers don’t get as much credit as they deserve. Try glassing as sanding a board with deep channels or concaves and see how many airbubble you get. Then you’ll appreciate a glass job. It is worth the money to have a board glassed by a pro.
