There are as far as I know three types of resin to make a surfboard.

Laminating resin is used with the fibreglass cloth.

A 'hot coat' is a layer of sanding or filler resin which is brushed onto the surfboard after it has been laminated. This resin has 'wax in styrene' added to make it easier to sand. Most boards are finished off at this point.

Another gloss coat is sometimes put onto the board to bring a shine or polished look.

cos most combatants are a lot older than you and as you'll know when you get there we don't take shit from little upstarts. takin the piss is cool but any hint of aggression is not appreciated-stuey for example is just takin the piss- not being aggressive except when you arc up. like most people he can get it as good as he gives it. I reckon you r ok- take it all with a grain o salt. why r we going on about this here, this is an equipment subject, I will say no more
