Fish`

[ado]

Beerfan,

board looks sweeeet! I suppose I could use UV resin and glass at night? Tarp is a good idea - i was thinking about one of those portable shelters and then hanging tarp around it to enclose the whole thing. We'll see how we go. How does the fish ride? Are you a big fella like me?
thanks for the advice.

Ado, no I wouldn’t recommend this at all unless you intend curing via lights and I’m guessing you aren’t!

If you glass at night you run the risk of ‘drain out’, the resin draining out of the weave and leaving lots of air bubbles. Happened to me ONCE when I did a board way too late in the day to activate curing. Learnt my lesson

For a shortboard, with some help standing by ready to jump in you should be OK as Wanderer said. You can also catalyse the resin at 3/4% instead of the normal recommended 1-2%, it will buy you some more time. Also try avoiding a hot day...
