@NickMonteleone i spend a lot of time working with fiberglass and epoxy resin
polyester resin is what you find eat canadian tire it is cheeper and less strong then epoxy resin but still very strong
epoxy is very easy to work with and gives you a great product much stronger then polyester resin i would highly recomend it but you need to do to a boat building shop to get it and costs a bit more

is it possible to just sand the edges to round them as i do not have a router

@roydepooi not only stronger but give it more flex.

what type of wood?
Your type says you're using polyester resin but in the video you refer to it as epoxy resin.......which is it? I have a job to glass and I'm trying to study up a bit.

The one in the video is polyester, while I've used epoxy also with great results. As you know, both epoxy and polyester have resin and hardener bases, mixed in a certain proportion to cause the chemical reaction of the hardening process. Epoxy is more expensive and more durable in a marine environment. For the price difference, I'd go with polyester for a skateboard, it's still extremely durable for this purpose. Hope this helps.
