I was hoping someone could maybe elaborate on the Basting technique for the fin box areas and rails.
When exactly is this step tacking place? If I were to hotcoat the deck, would I baste(rails) after I finished all my brush strokes? Regarding the bottom, would I baste the fin box ‘area’ after all my brush strokes?
Using a 10" box, are you basting about a 2" buffer around where the box will be?
How much basting are we talking about…heavy?
Thanks

Thanks Cleanlines,
Do you hotcoat the bottom first or hotcoat the surface deck first? Does it
better to hotcoat the bottom first then hotcoat the surface deck?

Hot coat the deck first, you need to lay down reinforcement fiberglass patches for your fins or fin system and I baste the bottom to seal any pin air holes before hot coating the bottom

I’m not sure how many glassers use this process but there’s nothing worse than seeing a beautiful airbrush job ruined by pin air. I also baste the rails,that way there’s less chance of sanding into the weave.
