Glazer

Nature

The glasser is the person who intervenes just after the shaper to laminate the board. After being shaped, it must be consolidated with reinforcing fabric and resin. The techniques used are the same as those used in the manufacture of boats or in bodywork (polyester and epoxy resins, manual lamination in open mode, vacuum lamination, veneer or sandwich technique...). The glazer must offer the best compromise between lightness, solidity and flexibility of the board. The glazer can also be the decorator, in which case he must master the classic techniques of decoration with paint
