So I did my first hot coat! (after sanding down my ‘de-gassing’ and ‘canyon created’ bubbles of course). I used a regular paint brush, but seemed to be wasting a lot of resin. I searched the archives for hotcoating techniques but never found what i was looking for.
Do most people dip the brush in the jar then layer it on? or pour it on and spread it (like i did and seemed to be wasteful)? what about other applicatiors, like a paint roller? or anything else that gives a proper and even coat?
pour in a thin line from nose to tail (and back) until the whole board is covered, immediately following the resin with your brush a few inches behind AS YOU POUR.
Howzit soulstice, Do you angle the brush a little so the brush is pushing the resin towards the rails, I find this gives you a more even hot coat since you don’t push any resin back over the area you just brushed. Really works great for gloss jobs also.Aloha,Kokua
