Yeah I don't know. Dirt, around here, nah - too wet practically always outside (NH). What's odd is I don't think there's any way I went 36 hours...
It'd be really easy to smooth those out via resin, filler/putty, or fairing compound.
Oh and also worth mentioning, problem is only one side.
I got busy, let a pile of panels cure in the tent. Then got back to it. So an update here. Although I very well may not choose the best cutting...
Specifically what confused me is the epoxy. I've cut a whole lot of foam+glass parts via jigsaw, honestly never was an issue until this epoxy...
This stuff cures to 35 degrees F on the fast cure hardener but that doesn't mean it will full cure in a couple days averaging 45. Which I guess is...
Thanks! Alright, so sounds like - last part, that 2 weeks with it sitting around was the difference, just got lucky. That all makes sense. I'm...
Thanks! What do you cut this sorta thing with if not a jigsaw? A lot of cutting over time, that's really become my go to for fiberglass anything....
I've got 2 small bolt down deck pieces here, Airex foam core. System III Silvertip. Piece shown, from inside out is 1800, 10 ounce cloth 2x. Hand...
Just to maybe explain a little better, here is a sketch and the approximate area under the gunnel where the livewell would be fit, marked by the...
Thanks guys! One thing to mention, the overflow would not have access to the ocean. Livewells go on deck level - about 8 inches above waterline...
A lot of baitfish get stuck in corners, can't swim, die, so inside must be rounded usually. Some do just sit there and flutter, but not mackerel...
Well that was one of my original options, coming full circle here :).. Yes can do half circles w/ the barrels. Just the outside barrel will be...
The barrel needs the foam because it needs the insulation (this is a biological problem to overcome that we cannot change :) ).. I think I like...
Thanks! I'm not sure I love that idea but the hard trouble w/ incorporating a plastic barrel into it is I can't tab to the skin. So then there...
I'm an amateur at best, take this for what it is. I think a major consideration w/ wax versus PVA is the environment you are working in. Wax...
I've gotta make 2 fiberglass barrels basically, sized on the inside to approximate dimensions of a 55 gallon drum (ie ~22.5 diameter) and the...
Will I'm sure you know what you are talking about but there are a whole lot of boats built in Maine, of all sizes and varied shapes but similar...
I don't know why your boat behaves that way but if you are going to add a real keel. I assume this is a fiberglass hull with no core? Sorry if I...
G10 has been mentioned a lot here, I don't know how the $$ works out but it's nothing special really is just fiberglass. When I run into these...
