OK so shapping went so smooth, I should have known glassing would through some obstacles at me. I’m doing a 10’6" cruiser with RR Epoxy and 2x6oz deck 6oz bottom (yellow pigment cutlap).
So I sanding seems to be were I need the most practice. Sanded through a couple spots. First sanded into one of my bubbles on the deck (no color) - took that opurtunity to do a ding repairs style patch and fixed the worst of the bubbles. Then sanded through the tail on the bottom. Decided if I was going to mix another color batch to repair that I’d also clean up my poorly wrapped tailer cuts. 5 repiars later, that is looking good.
So here is the question…
I have several spots were I sanded into the weave (not through it but I now have fuzzy spots from glass hairs. Do I need to re-hotcoat or just be real careful as I fininsh sanding the hotcoat and let the glosscoat cover/seal?
follow on:
will the gloss coat be enough to keep it all water tight?
do I hot coat the whole board or just give it a patch coat in the toubbe areas?
is it ok that I sanded into the glass from my free lap? is this normal?
Its not as pretty as I had hoped but board one is almost done. What a learning experience. Hopefully I won’t make all the same mistakes on board 2.
thanks
