Leave a mix to go off in the pots, then paint it. If you get fish eyes, then it will also mean silicone in your bonding epoxy. It should not...
What kind of paint? Had exactly that problem before the wd40 ban with enamels. There are special wipe down rags for cleaning silicone...
Build in plywood, yes. How often do RM yachts plane? That will depend on the design, the willingness to hold onto sail when some may reef....
That would be my thoughts. Washed out waxed milk cartons can be used too, the top 75% can be recycled and saves on plastic waste.
Thats a fair point, we had a WD40 ban inside the garage for exactly that reason. However, given the amount of silicone cooking implements, i would...
I see no reason silicone cup would not work. The end of both my resin cans have minor dribbles, but i lose more milk from a container in a week...
I have no issue poring resin or hardner from a 5 litre can, for batches of 3gm+. I have used the bottom of a polyethylene bottle for mixing,...

Matthew, again i see you are on the end of "this is what i like and what i think you should build with your time, money and effort". Its certainly...
I saw this and thought of you, if you in no mood to build. [IMG] Maraudeur - Nautisme (leboncoin.fr) Not having a French mobile phone, i can...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder for sure! I built a Michalak Family Skiff, and can highly recommend one of those for dinghy cruising if you...
Yes, smaller can sometimes be better. Keeping to max of 500kg tow weight makes things very simple to avoid trailer registration and insurance. I...
No worries. The mental work out harms no one. I see you frequent that "other" forum. I would agree the Corsaire suggestion is a good one if you...
