I didn't have the time and patience to properly polish the board, so two weeks ago I sanded it well after glassing, applied a hotcoat, and left it at that. This time I used less resin for the hotcoat - about 9 ounces per side, and it was enough. For the hotcoat I built a tent out of dripcloth to reduce dust, and for the bottom side I also filtered the resin. These things really helped - the hotcoat came out smooth and nice. Some things that went wrong: On the bottom side I machine sanded for the first time, and it went much faster than hand sanding, but it's not 100% even. I also tried my first resin dam when hotcoating the bottom, but it came out just so so.
