Hi there, I am making a San O. I have looked everywhere in the local city I live Inverness in Scotland, I cannot seem to find veneer for overlays.  I have a surfboard with a nice design made with paint between the fibreglass and UV finish. Is there any reason why I cannot do the same with the San O? If so what kind of paint could I use? Thanks. ---

Do an Internet search for decoupage.  Also could do the search here.  Your design may have been printed on rice paper and epoxied over.  The rice paper I use is actually called surfboard paper. Kim ---

[http://www.clcboats.com/forum/clcforum/thread/294.html](http://www.clcboats.com/forum/clcforum/thread/294.html) I have put decoupage on atop of the glass.  Preferred to apply it under.  Make sure you have a UV protectant over it.      ---

Yes,you can paint over the epoxy. I used artist’s oil paints. that was three years ago. Still looks good. ---

Hi thanks, I like the idea of painting or decoupage over the epoxy the best as I want to use two or three colours whereas Im not sure rice paper will do that, and its another thing that seems hard to get round here. I have some good artists acrylic paints so may look to use them. ---

I can't get anything local.  Get the stuff off the Net.  You seem to misunderstand how to use the rice paper.  I attach a sheet to a regular paper sheet for stiffness and run it through my printer.  Any thing can be printed.  Some printers bleed tho.  Run tests.  Kim ---

Hi, Its not just the rice paper, its also the printing ink to fill my old printer, check if it works,  etc etc. I am fed up with delays such as this kind and only have a few days off and as far as I can see painting the designs with a stencil will be fine between the epoxy and finish????  Finally, I guess a few stickers on finish board is ok too in the same way as stickers on surfboards? Thanks.
