Wow, the photographer stuck to him like glue to get fantastic closeups during the whole wetting out process. BTW, from 10:37 - 10:40 I seem to see a lot of wet "stringies" hanging down from the rail and I'm surprised he doesn't cut those off. Surely he's not going to lap them around to the deck. They always cause so much trouble when glassing the deck. OK, so I watched some more, and he lays them down parallel to the rail and not out onto the deck. BTW, photography at 13:28 is incredible; you can see the drips so clearly! Kudos to the cameraman!
Hi I have a triangle that I would like to use epoxy for. The triangle size is 50 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm. First time doing this how much show I use? Thank u for ur videos
If I chip brushed then rolled and then used a bubble busting roller could i use this method on 1708 without priming board with resin first. When i say board i mean a piece of lumber. Thanks for the videos!
leaving in the fail is the mark of true professionals, excellent work, I'm thinking of making moulds for 1964 Triumph 650 thunderbird half skirts, I have original steel ones, but they are really rare to find.
Hmm got a question. Got some plans for a 20 foot Jon boat. It says it needs a butt and bulkhead every 4 feet. So this is the butt joint and then you use plywood and hardwood laminated together with epoxy and fiberglass atop this butt joint?
Some epoxies create bubbles while mixing them and these bubbles tend to mar the output of the job. What do I do to ensure that these bubbles do not come up? Thanks
Great video. If you were to use fibreglass for the actual part. How would the method differ to this? As you did a carbon outcome and ill be doing a fibreglass outcome. Thanks
I thought about trying to replicate fenders for 1973-1987 Chevy dual rear wheel trucks. They are large compared to your demonstration and with many complex angles. Would I need to make a split mold to get the part out?
I make custom kids pedal planes. A few years ago I started to do them in fiberglass. Needless to say I have been online a lot digging into the procesess of making a mold. YOUR video is the quickest one I have seen that just gets to the point. Thanks for this video. I have saved it for future reference.
any recommendations on how to fix a core shot in the bottom of a carbon TT board that goes into the wood (Jaime SLS)? a layer of fiberglass and epoxy like this?
Can you "keep" epoxy once mixed? Is there a way to prolong it's life while coating in case the area being coated takes longer than the advertised 1 hour?
Is it okay to skip the surface agent and just paint directly onto the tacky surface? I’m building a teardrop trailer and plan on painting with a bed liner. Could that go directly onto the polyester resin?
Hello. I enjoy your videos very much. Here is my question. I made a 16’’ tall vase using resin then I made a 10x 15 x 1’’ base ( like a block ) planning to glue the vase on top of the base. Can I use resin as a glue ?
Hey, Everybody tell it is more difficult to have a clear carbone finish as you did than a brush carbon with another color. What is your secret for this good result ? Two hot coat ?
always picking up new techniques. I feel like I'm always trying to keep my hands as clean as possible until the very end, but hes just going at it saturating laps with is hands...gotta try this as this is my weakest glassing step. I would love to have all that extra time to lay down more resin on the deck and babysit laps
Imo, you're shooting yourself in the foot if you don't do the continuous rail waterfall and saturate each lap completely in 1 stroke. It's a bit more wasteful with resin, but is so much more efficient with respect to laminating the board. What I do is lay the stickers, then pour a little bit in the middle of the board, spread it out quickly and get the glass to adhere, then immediately go to lap resin waterfall. After that you're good to go, you only need a little resin left in your bucket to make sure everything is smooth on the flats and then tuck the laps.
Do you ALWAYS Pre-Wet Fiber Glass Tape for every type of project? And if not, what determines your decision to NOT Pre-Wet. I'm just wondering if I should Pre-Wet like you did on my NON-Boating project (Converting Chest freezer into cold plunge)
