I love the way gloss resin polishes up and how it covers up exposed weave where the lap is sanded on the bottom.
But I have been having issues with getting it on thick and then it flows into concaves on the bottoms.
I haven’t actually done a cross section, but I have a feeling that by the time the resin levels out and sets up, it must be about .050" thick on the bottom of boards that have concaves.
Is there a way to reduce it so it brushes on thinner?
Or is there an alternative spray on finish that looks as good and conceals the weave where glass fibers are exposed?
The last board that I used gloss resin on the bottom actually had a puddle of resin at the bottom of the concave and it was labor intensive to sand it thin without touching the weave in the center if the board… Exactly the place where I don’t want to create a soft spot.
I have tried spray on urethane and a few other clear ‘paints’ and those are lacking in the quality of gloss resin. So what I would like to find is something that is the nice quality but without so much depth.
Xylene thinner + accel;erator + UV activated catalyst perhaps? Polyester resin
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance - !
