When I got home this afternoon, I started working on the board.
First I sanded the laps from yesterday's lamination.
Cleaned off the dust then taped the bottom of where I wanted the fill coat to stick.
Then got on two fill coats. The first one was 7 ounces resin and 2.8 ounces of hardener - and a decent amount of international orange pigment. That wasn't really enough pigment though. Even repeating the fill coat a second time (same volume of epoxy) didn't give a saturated look (more opaque).
I'll this coat harden overnight. Tomorrow I give a light sand over the whole board prepping for the top deck fill coat (using more pigment). And I'll plan on doing one more fill coat on the bottom deck to get it more solid orange.
That has me sanding closer to Sunday. Oh well - you only have one chance to do it right the first time!
