ya ,, you guys need to add some barrier paper to your inventory.
I'll bet Aloha gets some good laughs from you guys.,, I sure do,,,Hahahahah (but I still love ya guys)
ok this is what you do,,,
tape the outside edge of the over drag, all the way around the deck and do a resin stain on the foam. making a false inlay. use multi colors as to help hide your F up.
so you will have the blue rail then a white foam band and then the center will be the foam stain.
I’m with you Ken! I don’t wanna try and hide something that only makes it more obvious I screwed up. To everyone who suggested ALOHA, Steve does great work but in the 30 boards I’ve done not a single one has been standard clear because the more things I try the better equipped I am to give Foam E-Z customers advice to help them avoid the same issues or so I can trouble shoot their problem and help them navigate around their screw up’s. I did use paper to prevent my current situation, however when wrapping the laps I caught the paper with the squeegee which as best I can tell allowed the resin to get between the 2…
Gdaddy I do appreciate the offer and just may take you up on that but when I have a planned veneer job LOL just see how it’s done right!
Oneula I like the sound of your idea of the plastic wrap but can you pull it off solo? I imagine you would have issues with it shifting under the tension of plastic as it’s wrapped. I do have an industrial style heat gun to ZAP it once it’s on.
McDing you couldn’t be more right about screwing up to learn a lesson, but also if I had taken my time to double check my prep work I could have avoided the whole ordeal.
Thanks Huck! Much appreciated, I have enjoyed many of your board builds as well!
I learned everything about color work on here, I believe it was Kokua’s method I first tried and still use everytime. The hard part was accepting that in order to get good a swirl you need so much extra resin to prevent “muddying” especially on the rails. Our personal boards do tend to be the test subjects don’t they!
