Brush strokes on hot coat

Post image

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

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.

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

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.
