You mean waiting for it to come or to try it? 
I already have it in my hands; it feels a little thin but I donāt have a term of comparisonā¦

Thatās really useful info, thanks.
It feels on the light side but usable.
Iāll try it out after the holidays and let you guys know how it went.

Iām curious how you did this one. I like the texture of the fibreglass on the bottom. What kind of fibreglass cloth did you use? Did you use the same cloth on the top, or something with less texture to it as it not really noticeable through the frit.

Welcome to the forum! Iām new around here myself but can say Iām the lucky recipient of this deck/enclosure combo. Unfortunately, I canāt say it looks this nice anymore haha.
Iām not 100% sure what fibreglass cloth @glyphiks used but I do know he uses his resin minimally which helps show the fibreglass strands.

Iirc it was 800gsm woven roving on the bottom and 200gsm cloth on the top. Jeff is correct, the minimal use of resin allows the texture to show through like that
Glad you like it! I quite liked it too.

Whatās the trick to using minimal resin?

Use only as much as you need to wet out the layer. Any more is too much.
You can also extract resin from the wetted out cloth by squeeging it, you just need to be careful not to disturb the weave.

Thatās what I thought.
Definitely something that you gain with experience and testing. My advice would be a flat deck to start and then get fancy with concave/drops.

Haha, yeah ok seems like sound advice, might do some practice runs on some pieces of scrap ply before I unleash on a deck. Thanks Legends

Applied a stripper to the Marble and nothing happened.
Asked the Zenith dude on insta and he told me the paint is glassed with epoxy.
In this case I donāt need to get to bare wood right, just a light sanding is enough?

Yeah dude thats sweet. Make sure its a consistent sand at at least 240 grit, and make sure itās super clean (lots of acetone and scrubbing) before you start coating it.

Could this process start on a tacky glass lamination epoxy coat?

Absolutely

Finally got my hands on it.
White was not white enough and forgot to clean the epoxy with alcohol before applying the lacquer. Otherwise, It went pretty well for the first time. The deck looks beautiful to me 
Applying the clear coatā¦
After the clear coat:
Thanks @glyphiks for sharing this. On my book, youāre a master. Respect dude

Nice work dude! Yes its very important to nail the white solid effort for your first try bro!
Iāve actually got a couple on the bench at the moment
You can see that when you have a solid white base, the colours pop a lot nicer

Good luck with them 
Actually I have two more decks to do, and you gave me the idea to do both at the same time. Seems pretty obvious but I was going to do them separately, who knows why

Batching stuff together is almost always easier/quicker/more efficient
