My guess it you may have issue using traditional resins because of their solvent properties.

However with epoxy resins, you'd have no problem. Something like West System 105/207 ultra clear.

However you need to use a very good UV topcoat, like a urethane or poly urethane as epoxy resin itself does not fair well in UV

What was used originally on the Spectras, over the faux woodgrain?

There is a thread on RDP somewhere where an inmate used a cherry Stealth Veil on the floors of a v-drive restoration. I can't seem to find it for the life of me, but the lamination process was similar to balsa inlays except the veil was put in place with spray contact adhesive IIRC. I believe the work was done with poly or vinyl ester resin and clear coated with Duratec clear.

The Dixxon Flannel Eliminator also used Stealth Veils for the plaid inlays.

“Dixxon Flannel” 28 Fundeck Teague 1050!

I think the matching 27 Speedster w/ twin 450’s is his too…? I don't think so but who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

'73 Sanger Flat - Another Winter Restoration Thread

Thought I'd post up some pics of my restoration. This is the boat back in the day - not the exact same boat and it did not come with the hotties.

Pacalon.

Here is a thread with some info:

Wood grain on hull

Is there any replacement for the wood grain sticker that goes below the windshield? If not exact is there anything people would considered acceptable?

I mean, I know the faux woodgrain was Pacalon but what did they use over it? (Well, under it in the mold)
