How do you get a seamless finish. Showed us how to glass 2 different boards. Are the rails glassed twice?

@balisong10 no it is most probably a squeegy (don't know how to spell it. it is like a rubber wax comb perfect for spreading resin.

[balisong10]

and also, is that a sponge you are using to spread the res?

[balisong10]

what do you mean when you say get it wet, I understand it, but wet with water or wet with resin?

[Nirvezz]

@balisong10 wet with the resin. you want the fibger glass soaked with it. goes the same for epoxy. Resin can burn a eps foam

[DUNIORSDONE]

what do you use to add color

[JetJockey87]

Pigment. Resin is inert by itself, add catalyst to speed up the hardening (which is also influenced by temperature and humidity--hence why shaping bays are best to build boards in).

I'm not too sure but I think Pigment is added to the resin before the catalyst is added, after the catalyst is added its now or never.
