Blow off the hull with compressed air, or
use a vacuum to get the dust off.
Mix about 1 ounce of finishing resin.
Use a credit card to spread out the resin
on the top and sides.
Squeegee as much as you can. Get a thin
even coat of resin on all areas.
Use a small acid brush to get the edges.
Scrape as much resin as possible. You
just want to wet the wood with resin, any
excess will just have to be sanded off
later.
This first coat is easy, as the wood will
darken as it gets wetted with resin.
The second coat will be a little more
challenging, but will use far less resin and
be faster to cover.
When you are sure that all areas on the
top and sides are covered, let it cure
overnight.
When cured, scrape the epoxy with a new
utility knife blade. Hold it straight up (90
degrees to the surface).
When done, blow the dust off and do the
bottom.
Repeat the whole thing for the second
coat,
Scrape the second coat and sand any
corners lightly with 180.
Wipe the hull down with alcohol or
degreaser designed for paint.
Use a tack cloth lightly to remove any
dust.
Spray a light coat of primer. Let this flash
for a few minutes, and spray a heavy coat
on.
Let sit overnight.
