First layer of spar is already on.
I went over it with 240 wrapped around a bundled towel. It looked almost entirely uniform and I did not sand too deep.
I wanted to get the the little crevice that was in the deck from the factory. Little imperfections I son t mind. I tend to put lots of imperfections of my own into anything I build.
After everything, the sand job was very even
@glyphiks is it ok to sand out unevenness after the first layer? Some spots look a little not great
Never used spar urethane so i can’t say specifically.
But with epoxy it is necessary to sand any layer you wish to coat over.
Just make sure if you do sand some spots that you at least give the rest of it a light sand as well
I just coated over the frit when my base coat was still tacky, and then again for next coats (while tacky again) to lock it in.
Yeah i do the same. Can’t really sand it once its fritted 
2nd coat on and takky
I’m pretty happy! Some spots ran a bit. I put the deck on a 45ish tilt to keep the very subtle w shape. Worked really well but unfortunately there’s that one runny spot. It’s super subtle though and I’m sure once the frit goes on it’ll be unnoticeable
I am lazy and my bag of fucks is mostly empty. I just epoxy bottom when it 1/2 set then frit. then finishing epoxy while the first layer is tacky. Last time I did 2 layers of finishing and it is bullet proof and doesn’t make me want to vomit so win win.
i see you’re a man of culture as well
INDEED…
Looking damn near perf. Going to stay like this until the am. Then top layer. By the look of things it’ll get two layers
Awesome Job.
that looks perfect. did you sprinkle, salt shaker, or?
Lol 3 years of working at a pizza joint gets you a few skills. That was entirely by hand. I added more on the ends with the idea that I would be standing there and it would cause wear
Gonna have to disagree with you there. I put 4 coats of epoxy with zero sanding and it’s beautiful
And you let the epoxy cure between coats? Did you at least clean each coat with iso or acetone?
I have found that the layers will seperate very easily if you just reapply straight on top of cured epoxy.
I let the epoxy set for a few hours, it was hard to the touch, but not cured. No Iso or acetone between coats.
Wow. I guess its no surprise tho really, different epoxies have different formulas, yours probably has some type of anti-blooming properties. Bloom is the main reason mine doesnt stick second time round
West systems 105 resin /207 hardner
You one of them classy motherfuckers. West system 105 is brilliant. But costs like 3x as much as the shit I use
Well you know the saying, you get what you pay for!
WS105 is da shit, for me a n00b is more forgiving than the trojan (generic). I use Trojan for Big jobs and save the WS for fiddly stuff. I also have a casting resin, its super clear and hard use this just post frit.
