My humble apologies for any fax paus I may commit, I’m not a bulletin board or forum user but I was told to check this one out and it’s been a wealth of information and resources, Thanks!! Anyhowwww…
I’ve just finished the woodworking part of a 9’ hollow wooden board (laminated balsa rails, nose, and tail, and door mahogany deck and bottom) and have a couple of questions that I haven’t seen addressed in the epoxy fiberglass threads I’ve checked. All my research indicates epoxy over wood is the best bet and I’ll probably go with Fiberglass Hawaii 2:1 clear. I’m thinking of doing the laminations with epoxy then hot coat and gloss with polyester. I’ve been told that humidity is critical, is this true? Humidity in the wood itself or humidity in the atmosphere? Has anybody used epoxy over abalone? I have some puau abalone inlays on the deck. I’ll do some testing on test pieces first of course. Thanks
