I did a opaque epoxy fish with volan and it was a real bitch of a time cutting it because if you wait till it’s hard you can’t cut it and it’s a real mess cutting before the epoxy sets up too much. Maybe somebody else has had better luck. I only tried it once and it was enuff.
Another thing, It takes extra time for the glass to adsorb the epoxy resin, I found that by heating the resin a little this problem was solved. The viscosity is less when a vacuum back is used, I think because theres less resin in the skin, I had no problem cutting the laps. The time frame I used for this was 4 hours. Good luck, Peter Rijk

I have had three boards glassed in this manner.On paper it sounds good-read that strong, light and durable.Well,they are strong and light.However, the resin continues to cureand cure and cure, resulting in the glass really sucking onto the stringer creating a indent o0r crease all the way down the stringer.Finally,for whatever reason they have all severely blistered rendering them unrideable.
