What's the difference between laminating, sanding/hot coat, and gloss/finish Polyester resin?

FAQ : Foam E-Z, The Original One-Stop Surfboard Supply Shop
Laminating resin is greenish blue in color and is the basic first coat of resin; it is used to adhere the cloth to the blank (this resin will only dry tacky and not sandable!) Sanding or hot coat resin or filler coat is almost the same thing; it is lam resin with surfacing agent (styrene monomer and paraffin wax) mixed in. Paint it on the laminated surfboard to fill the fiberglass weave and make the board sandable. Gloss/finish Resin is pink in color and is the final coat of resin.

Can you powder coat over wet spray?

gg2 michigan powder coatings - frequently asked questions ( ...
While it is possible to remove wet spray from parts prior to coating, the correct way to ensure quality is to ship us cleanly manufactured metal parts. However, it is sometimes possible to paint right over the old layer, but only if we can get an electrostatic charge through the paint and to the base metal itself. Each part poses different challenges. We cannot determine what work will be involved until we have seen the part and made a careful analysis.

Answer: NO! The resin used in swimming pools must be protected by gelcoat or the resin will wear away within 4-7 years causing chaulking and cobalting. This must be avoided at all costs. Gelcoat cannot be applied to polyester resin because it will delaminate in less than a year. Only the highest quality resin will accept gelcoat and last for 20 to 30 years.
