Deck support dowel coated with epoxy. Note
waxed paper.
Preparing to fiberglass bottom seam. Keep spacer
in place.
Hard to see, but there is fiberglass cloth in place.
Seal as far as the back of bulkhead 3. Don’t seal
between the engine rails yet, that’s next.
Before the next step, glue the engine rail spacer
between the engine rails. Glue at about the halfway
point between the bulkheads. Use CA for this
temporary spacer.
Fiberglassing seam
Use 6 ounce cloth, about 3 inches wide. Make two
pieces, one from the back of bulkhead 3 to 4, and
one from 4 to 5.
Mix another 2-4 ounces of finishing resin.
Brush resin onto the center seam and lay the cloth
down, centered on the seam.
Brush in a very heavy coat of resin, so that the cloth
is completely wetted.
Continue coating the inside with finishing resin.
If you need to mix more, use a new container and
brush. If you don’t, the old resin will mess with the
new resin, and create a problem. Trust me…
After you are 100% sure that all exposed wood
inside the hull has been coated, let it sit overnight.
