Hi all. Im in the end stages of building a new shortboard for a trip to bali in may. Its all finished, except for the final gloss coat. Im more concerned about weight over a glossy finish. I have both gloss resin and lam resin/surfacing agent. Im essentially trying to get the thinnest/lightweight coat possible, just to cover some burn throughs. Could i use lam resin and heat it in water to get the thinness of the gloss resin, or am i better off just using the gloss resin? And i have never used gloss resin before, but understand that it flows much easier than lam/sanding resin, so how much gloss resin would normally be used for a 6'4" shortboard?
