I just did the most hideous ugly monstrosity of an abstract. It’s done on 8oz Volan as an inlay on a very large board. The bottom and rails came out great as a solid opaque teal colour. It’s for a wonderful friend and now I can’t live with myself. Does anyone out there know a fix? Can I lay another layer of glass over top and opaque the Sh…t out of it? Any ideas would be helpful at this point

Make sure the surface you paint is a perfect as you can get it. If you tape it off careful and pin line it you can do anythin you want under a layer of 2 or 4 oz cloth and a finish coat. Nobody will be the wiser except you and I and whoever else reads this post. Good Surfin’, Rich

But…I didn’t put any hot coat on it because it was supposed to come out real nice see, and I was going to put another eight over it. How can I sand the thing if I dont hot coat it first? I really don’t want to waste any more resin on it.
