Glassin The Hull
Another busy week. Its getting harder and harder to remember all the steps in our process, but last saturday we glassed the topsides and bottom. First off, all the seams were taped to ad reinforcement using 105/205 and 6 oz 4 inch fiberglass tape. Next, we started on the sides, the hull was wetted with west system 105/205 epoxy and then blanketed with 6oz fiberglass cloth. The cloth was wetted out using rollers, i mixed as Mack rolled. We taped the bottom along the corners with 4 inch tape as well in order to fill in the gap between our 38inch cloth and our 44 inch beam. Then we glassed the center of the bottom with the 38 inch cloth. The port side went flawless, starboard had some difficulties but we managed to keep our cool, and the bottom went on pretty easy although we did come down to our very last drop of epoxy at the end, talk about cuttin it close! After a short visit from the Fire Cheif we were on our way, thankfully he didn't shut us down.....
