Group: Awaiting Activation Posts: 1, Visits: 7	Hello, New boy here - so please forgive my ignorance. I have nearly finished shaping a solid wood surfboard (balsa). I'm trying to decide the best way to finish/waterproof it. Can I just coat the board with your coating resin? I mentioned that the board is solid wood, and therefore is structurally sound, so strengthening is not an issue. It is also relatively heavy! So I am looking for a minimal addition of weight to waterproof it, hence my question. Ideally, I would like to have as clear a finish as I can to maintain the wood visuals. Many thanks in advance, as any suggestions/thoughts will be appreciated. Ed Tags Epoxy resin surfboard wood
