I don't plan on steaming the capping, would get oversized and shape it. It's a work boat so although there will be a gunwale roller for chain...
Ok, had an original plan for my Versatility 25 of rebuilding the gunwale in douglas fir. 40x100 for for the outside guard, same for the inboard...
Must be a more common thing here in the UK. [ATTACH]
No, just the exposed places. Yes, I'll be glassing the underside.
only the douglas fir beams. Few coats of danish oil before being covered over, never to be seen for 30 yrs.
I guess I am over thinking this. I'm coming from a place where I would normally be bolting a 2 drum hydraulic winch to the deck and ancillary...
This is a pretty standard build for workboat decks. My 40 yr old Cygnus was built like this and I just replaced the deck and beams 2 yrs ago. The...
Surely the bolting of the beams to the shelf provides structural stability. That last picture is from an MCA coded boat, they put the beam shelf...
oh, the beam shelf is for the beams to sit on, the frame I have under the template ply is only there to get my levels, I used a few string lines...
I just want to get the beam shelf in before it gets too cold. The bulkheads won't be supporting the deck, there will be one fore and aft of the...
No stringers, and I'll add a couple of bulkheads later one fore and one aft of the engine compartment and maybe a small crash bulkhead up front....
Ok folks, just about to glass in a beam shelf on a 25' boat. Planning on 18mm ply at 150mm wide. Now what I can't decide is on how much glass to...
If I decide on a sealed deck, how do I determine if the hull is epoxy or poly?
Got about 60mm wide bearers for the deck all heavy laid up glass from new. Was originally build as a dock workboat for laying moorings
Kinda envisioned cutting the sheets to size. Priming with a coat of poly in the workshop and then fitting in the boat on a nice day and lay up the...
I only thinned the epoxy for the sheets of ply I used to make engine boxes and wheelhouses. Purely for weatherproofing. It works really well for...
Its about 12ish sqm . summer coming up so usually high teens low 20s most of the time. Can go to high 20s . I'd finish the top with non slip grey...
What would you suggest? Couple of layers of 450g ? Or would 3x 300g?
Would probably want to topcoat it all in a grey anyway. Used to use a lot of poly about 20 yrs ago roofing but single ply is a better product for...
I mentioned saturating because its worked extremely well in a few other projects but they have been wheelhouses and engine boxes. Not heavy wear...
