Epoxy Gloss Coat Surfboard

The gloss coat options.

Epoxy gloss coat surfboard. Stamps surfboards bringing a nice gloss and polish finish to this axis log. Showroom boards that say epoxy on them are usually only epoxy in the laminate cloth. Make sure the room working temperature is around or above 24º c. If fish eyes a common bubble like imperfection appear in an epoxy hot coat consider adding fans to blow across the surface of the wet gloss coat.

Once again you can go a long way to shorten your learning curve in sanding with good tools and technique but there is no substitute for practice. Fish eyes can be filled in by slowly dripping resin slightly over filling the hole. Sand only hot coat gloss gloss and polish what should you get. Your board should be left clean and untouched at the same room temperature for 24 hours before glassing to avoid gassing.

In our opinion sanding is the most underappreciated and also the most difficult step of board building to master. A gloss coat is yet another layer of resin applied to the board after a hotcoat is applied and sanded down. I like 100 epoxy no pigment solvent thinner or additive. The hot coat and gloss coat is often polyester usually polyurethane gloss coat on surftechs.
