Term 3 Week 10

Last week on Thursday I painted the first layer of primer onto the bottom side of my board. I then came back to DTM after school to paint the first layer on the top side of my board. This meant I would be ready to sand down the primer on the following Monday. On Monday Terry bogged up any holes in my board. After priming all the existing holes were clearly visible so this made it easier. Once the bog dried I used some 400 sand paper to sand down the bog and primer. This only took a few minutes so I still had time to start on my second layer of primer. I painted on a thicker layer than the first onto the bottom of my board. I then left it to dry. On Wednesday I updated my calender, posted reflections and photos. I also worked on completing my blog checklist. On Thursday (today) I did not finish my primer painting as I was hoping. I have been on the computer choosing my griptape for my board. We are getting the griptape sent from California as it is cheaper than getting it locally from Wellington. I have chosen a rasta lion griptape which I am hoping will go well with the vinyl design for the bottom of my board. The griptape should arrive by the end of the holidays so will be at school when I need it. In term 4 I will have to finish painting my board before laying the griptape. I don't think I will have enough time to fully finish my longboard before the end of the year.
