Applying Hot Resin to Surfboards

Video Transcript

"So we've got our gloves back on, come over here we'll get our hot coat resin and our brush. Like I said, UV resin's in here; this never hardens as long as its not in a UV light. And thats the great thing when it comes to conservation of materials, especially in my business. Before, you would catalyze resin, then you would work on a few boards, that resin would kick, and then all of a sudden you would have to dump out half a bucket. Not anymore. Now we have the same resin and we only use what we need, and thats really important. Especially at home, if you could cover it up and keep it in the garage, then that resin is going to last a long time as long as no light is on it. So, just real smooth brush strokes, kind of get inside that prep-line. As you can see, this area right here is sanded and thats not and that's where we want to make sure that resin stays because that way when you go to polish it, you just feather in that line and this is just going to all feather in real lightly. So we're going to let that sit here actually for a minute or two, let that kind of flow out, make it look like so that the surface is like a mirror. And then that way when we go to polish it out, it will look real clean, there won't be any lines in it. So we'll go ahead and take that outside and let that cure, like I said again another about hour, hour and a half and it should be good to go."
