Term 4 Week 1

This week has mainly been focused on painting preparation for the final coats of the longboards. On Monday I painted on my last coat of primer paint. I used a thick layer of primer because I would still need to sand down the primer which would take away some of its volume. On Wednesday I was on the computer updating my blog and checklist. I added my reflections for end of term 3 and also holidays, I updated my calender through google calenders and also researched on epoxy resin r180 and fibreglass chop strand double bias roving. I believe I am reasonably up to date with my blog checklist photos and calender. I believe I can finish all required computer work for DTM by the due date. On Thursday I finished my primer paint preparation by sanding down the primer coats on my board. I started with a coarse sand paper (120) and then moved on to a finer sand paper (400). Going from coarse to fine like this is the best and most efficient way to smooth down my longboard. I spent the whole lesson sanding my board to try and get it as smooth as possible for the next coats of paint which will be sprayed on. Next week I am expecting and hoping to be spraying on my black base coat onto my board and may even mask out my vinyl designs onto my board using tape.
