Glassing problems in San Francisco

General Discussion
1

Just got done putting the lam down on the bottom of my first shape. Worked out pretty well, a couple of air bubbles, but nothing major. I was using UV Resin and the people I share my building with complained about the fumes. Got a call from the landlord saying no more glassing. I am looking for a location somewhere in the bay area to finish off the board. Anyone have any recommendations for places where I can finish up the lam and sanding coat? I have all materials. Just looking for some workspace with shade, sun, and no sensitive landlords

 

Thanks,

 

Buster

did you get any PM's on this Buster?

or you can use epoxy

 

I always thought that UV resin produced way less fumes because of the faster curing time? Is that incorrect? (I never used UV-resin)

you have attained stage one in the evolution of a board builder.

I only you could access the shuttle

you could pursue infinite space.

 

Here on the material plane

terra firma accommodations

for the sensibilities of others

puts a big hole in unbridled creativity.

 

wharehouse  filters country barn

neighbors who like the smell o’ resin

surfers etc…you gotta move.

gosh first up I think of robert burns 

when I call anahola to see if it is raining like

it is here in kapaa…it isn’t…

then you say leaving  this our beautiful island home

brings to mind john donne

no man is an island… alone an onto himself

I must be quoting it wrong but what is creay=tiff licence all about

within you is this island comprised of all the molecules you have 

breathed drank and eaten of this unique AINA you are indeed

measurably this island not even to begin to consider the mental 

and interpersonal bytes stored deep in the synapses of your 

eternal cosmic storage battery that is the direct link to your

immortal soul the adventure you are about to embark upon

will be the magical mystery tour of the 21st century keep us posted 

the world will be a better place for sacrificing ya’ll to infect the 

social stratum with a

                   ‘kauai cured will-dog’

your seminars should be high priced and well attended.

…ambrose…

when do you open in pahrump?

are the tickets still available?

is it true they are only 30$?

funding  a tour is costly

especially for the groupie bus

    Brother Brose, Spent some time with Riddle yesterday and he thinks I should write a book about all my experiences here, might be something to think about since my memory works great. Still haaven't bought a ticket yet so I am having a hard time making the total commitment to leaving but I am looking at around the middle of July.Every body keeps telling me I can always come back that is for sure. But I would like to see some of the US of A that is beautiful. How about a Swaylocks travel tour to see how many of our fellow members I can meet, could be a plan and I have never been East of the Grand Canyon. Aloha,Kokua

One of the problems with UV resin is that if it is never exposed to any UV light then it will never almost never kick… it will eventually, as exposure to air and ambient rays will eventually kick it… but this could be days, maybe even as long as a week. So the problem could actually be much worse if you do not have the right environment for glassing with UV.

 

I always just put a few drops of catalyst in the lam batch before glassing, that way, any resin that gets on the floor will eventually kick regardless of exposure to light.
