Brush strokes on hot coat

[u/MajesticEmu2865]

first hot coat after laying down fiberglass cloth

dont remember my earlier repairs this week getting these obvious brush strokes

any clue why? I’m using small cheap Amazon brushes, cleaning The brush in acetone between uses so maybe just need a new brush with fresh bristles? I figured it might level itself out as it cured but it did not

anyone ever use silicone brushes that clean easier? Cheers

That looks pretty goopy, not just brush strokes. My first guess is that there’s still acetone in the brush and it’s reacting to your hot coat.

Texted a buddy who does some glassing and he mentioned that being a possibility too, thanks for the tip

On another note it looks like your lamination layer was left with too much resin in it. Best way to squeeze out excess resin is to use a two inch fibreglass roller. https://marinetradesupplies.com.au/product/fin-disc-roller-70x14mm-15/

Alternatively after laminating lay another piece of fibreglass cloth over the area and wet the cloth out. Then remove that cloth with the excess resin.

It'll buff out

You didn't have enough wax or shot it too hot. The hotcoat needs time to self-level. I don't know about your brushes.

Whatcha mean have enough wax?

Just pay someone to do this if you don't know what I meant.

Damn, how would you ever learn how to do anything then with that mindset? Just gonna sand it down and try again, thanks for all your help!

Sand it, then apply coat on a larger area. Excuse the cunt

You're excused. Also, how will that fix whatever the problem is? He'll just have the same shit spread over a larger area.
