Shinny top & dirty plexiglass on rocker table
Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2013 9:01 pm
Hey guys, two questions following the completion of my first foam vacuum bag kiteboard:
First, how can I obtain that shinny look on top of my board as mine is not shinny at all. I used standard 3 layers of fiberglass cloth on top of my cotton with peel ply and breather but the final look is not shinny. It's not an issue to ride the board but doesn't look like ones I've seen on the forum from board builders...
Second, how can I clean my plexiglass for my next board as there is a bit of epoxy left and some marks from my board in there? I didn't use mold release as my partner was suppose to have some but it turns out he didn't... I was surprised that the board wasn't hard to peel off from the plexyglass but now I need advises in order to be able to use it over and over again, with mold release if needed!!!
Thanks for your help.
P.S. Pictures to follow once I finish exposing the rails NLT this week-end
