Glassing


6oz cloth layed on the hull to acclimate. smoothed out with a fine haired paint brush. Tomorrow is the big day, West systems epoxy and hardener in a box with a 60watt light bulb to help warm it up to get the epoxy runny so I can have as transparent lay up as possible.   The fiberglass will almost dis-appear once it is wet out.  Cloth is from Noah's Marine, ordered cloth, tape, and rollers on Tuesday, received it Thursday.  Cloth arrived on a roll and in great shape, no snags.  They were also the cheapest I could find on the internet.  Epoxy was purchased from The Barn Door lumber.  Great place, I've purchased all my wood from there and they have everything you'd need.
Keeping my fingers crossed as I've never done a glass job this big.  I guess the way to learn is to do it.  :)



Glass after 3 fill coats of epoxy..


From the bow.....  still need to trim the excess cloth.




Stern layer will I hope disappear after some sanding.  I will wait to sand after the deck and hull are joined.

****go to the stripping tab, about half way down for stripping of the deck.****
