Painting Blanks Before Glassing

Unread post by jbw4600 »

What do you guys think about painting blanks before glassing? I am worried about delamination. Has anyone problems with delamination? I am thinking about painting an eps blank.

use a water based acrylic paint but it could still delam. maybe use a light color for the paint so it doesn't attract heat. I had a green and black railed airbrushed board and the rails would get hot when I would clean the wax off. if you leaving a board in your car maybe crack the windows to give some air flow.
