Why thats elementary…mad Bert’s shop revolves upside down with the flick of a switch…then he applies resin to the board…gravity prevents the resin from penetrating the PVC.
Really sir, get with it.
Many years ago when I was a young apprentice, one of my projects involved trying to apply a resinous coating to a semi-porous 4’ x 8’ panel, to best achieve:
-
Minimal surface penetration of resinous coating
-
Eliminate/or minimize the attraction of tiny dust particles during the drying cycle
The solution was simple…
-
Apply resinous coating quickly, thin and smooth
-
Then turn wet panel surface upside down until drying cycle was over
I see that you’ve been given the secret tour of Bert’s shop. Some people have all the luck!.. What I was refering to was the guy who said it was brilliant. The gravity idea seemed clear to him, but I didn’t get it.
Lemme get scientific for a second. Any porous solid with small channels and crevases will absorb any liquid by means of capillary action. It is a wicking action that can amount to many hundreds of psi depending on the solid.
Thought that might be interesting to some.

Now that I can understand. Thanks!
