LAPS...

ok, heres the problem… im doing my laps and then hotcoating, but when i come back to sand ill hit the cloth on the laps but not on the deck or bottom of the board eventually having to go back and do a cheater coat to make the board presentable. how do you guys glass the board with nice laps so you dont have to do this and can just come out with a nice sanded finish??? ANY input would be AWESOME!!! thanks guys Josh

Whit a sander use a thick soft pad for the rails. I use a 120 grid for the rails too start with. About 1000rpm
