Presaturating a wooden hull

[jimslade]

I glassed a 16 ft cedar strip runabout, learned alot. My 2 cents. Use 2 layers of cloth and a slow cure epoxy(24 hrs). Glass in one step. Warning! make sure the wood is very dry and if you can epoxy coat the inside, this will stop the expansion of the wood when wet.

Using 1 layer 30oz triaxial + one layer 10oz uni extra in the slam zone.Wood is 14%, as low as I can keep it in this climate. Frames are being removed &
glassed inside as well. thanks for the tips.
