Got the girlfriend painting boards for the skate/surf shop I manage. THe owner shapes our decks and then adds another layer of fiberglass, protecting any images. We don't use crappy grip tape, but instead coat the top in a fine layer of epoxy and throw beach sand on it. IT is much more coarse and lasts years longer than anything else. These are decks my gf finished recently.
Spoiler warning:
Had another person leave at another property we have in town. Dropping like flies.
For some reason August seems to be the month for new hires.
