Default RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread

once you have the resin brushed out, take a second to check it out and make sure you don't have any dry spots. Then pick up that handy 2" foam roller. I always use a fresh foam roller. you can clean these in acetone but I think it loses some of it's absorbency. Start rolling out the flat sides, then just like you did with the brush roll out the turtle decks from the center out. You will notice the resin will level out, and you will be able to see the weave in the reflection. Keep wiping the roller on a paper towel. You will also notice tiny bubbles of resin popping up between the weave, I guess this is a process of the curing, I don't really know I'm not a chemist but you see tiny bubbles in my photos. You will notice a dull shine and be able to see the weave.


Also I did side two of my rudder in the same method.
