I was doing cutlaps and used aluminum foil to cover the racks. I flipped the board and cut the laps, so far so good.
What I missed at that point was the 1. I still had too much resin in the cloth, 2. the cloth was still wet.
This plus the fact that I forgot to pull it off caused a disaster…
The foil is sticking to my lam and the worst move I could make was the attempt to sand the foil down on the spots where the resin pooled under the foil.
Now I finally did a good glassjob with aluminumflakes stuck in the weave.
Has anyone made an equal experience or knows how I can get out of that misery or am I the only one clumsy enough to screw up so bad?
we have all screwed up …some just like to deny it .
Spray / tint / pigment the board silver , put silver glitter flakes in your lam coat , make some silver fins , and no-one will know it was an accident .
Who knows , you might even pick up a mermaid during one of your dawn patrols …
worse things have happened at sea …
ben
…I have always wanted to do a silver and / or gold glitter board …seriously .
If they’re just small pieces you may be able to scrape them off using a razor blade. With the blade perpendicular to the lam, use quick back and forth motion w/ moderate pressure.
