Onya Wingy, now you have it.

You can use the brush to drag those long strands back toward the lap line. Can be a bit different if you don't use 'normal' glass weave though. I have seen others just tease long strands off the blank and let them hang. Wait until they cure then just snap off. They can be a destructive bastard to remove otherwise especially on a painted blank.
Mate, I pretty much haven't touched a board for over a year other than to fix one of mine I loaned to a friend and he did a plug in.
Used to be the case as soon as I pick up a squeegee I would start to sweat with anxiety, another reason I migrated toward epoxy, but it has it's idiosyncrasies.
Was watching Rich (Pure) last week as he was laminating a few Rusty shorties and he was trying to get me back into the industry in some fashion, can't make up my mind if I miss the smell or not. The bastard makes it look so easy it isn't funny. Comes from doing tens of thousands.
Never forget the day Rich and I made a 9 footer in one day, from shape to finish. Can't really be doing that with MEKP…
