far out man!!

I don't take shrooms so I don't get it. :cool: :p
Far out man!
Anyone that uses that term is ok in my book😎

Your boats color work is 1/2 way complete as of this evening.
While walking around bored waiting for gel to dry I noticed these and got a couple of pics.

When a boat is pulled from a mold it creates static electricity.
That’s all grinding dust that was on the mold.
The electricity makes it form these Star shapes.

Seeing this, and knowing this, could you use an electrical charge to cause gel to not adhere in certain spots? Something akin to the high voltage wood burning designs?

Could be a super bitchen custom thing...

I really like the way you think👍
However, lol.
I’m not sure I’d want to be around when the electrical charge hits.😧
I’m thinking it would BNAG!

If you ran a single strand, and gave one end a ground, the charge could be guided and manipulated in the setup. At least saving you from crotch shock. I don't know much about the chemical makeup of the gelcoat, but I would assume you could play with loading various amounts of copper oxide or the like into it. For that matter, if a ferrous (I believe) metal powder was used, I would think a magnetic field could also be used to some effect.
