Fiberglassing seam
Use the supplied fiberglass cloth, and some epoxy
finishing resin.
Mix 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.
Glass the seam from bulkhead 3 back. You will
have to cut it into 3 sections.
Sealing Interior
Now we need to seal the inside. It is vital that all
exposed wood be sealed.
Mix up about 2-4 ounces of epoxy finishing resin.
Start from the front.
Using a brush, coat all areas of wood inside the
hull. Get inside the holes.
Try not to get too much resin on the top edges of
the bulkheads and chines, as it will make it more
difficult to sand later. Be sure to get the bottom
edges of the spines.
Seal over the glassed area as well.
After you are 100% sure that all exposed wood
inside the hull has been coated, let it sit overnight.
Recoat the interior with a second coat. This will use
much less resin.
You can use any excess resin to seal one side of
the deck sheeting (3 pieces) at any point. You
should scrape or sand when cured and coat a
second time.
