I had the privilege of meeting Captain Joe today at the boat ramp. What a great guy with a boat that's even more awesome in person! Not many people would say "jump on board" and take the time to really show me the Buskens 2900! What a ride! I can't say enough about Joe's level of kindness and passion for his craft. Thanks Captain Joe, you really turned my day around. If you're reading this and on the fence about subscribing, click the button and support something that great!

Captain Joe, This is an awesome series!! I've been on the road, so I "Binge Watched" the six episodes, over the weekend. This is a great series to binge watch, due to the progression of the episodes. I need to get started on my project's transom, but this series, makes me want to stop and build a mold for something...HA! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us DIY'ers! Lastly, a Big Shout Out to Logan! His camera work adds so much to your channel! The lighting is always spot on. His ability to capture the details while you work, really aids in presenting the technical aspect of the project. What a GREAT channel!

In addition to you being a teacher, you have the attention to detail to be an outstanding Industrial Engineer. I have be one for over 30 years. Or a continuous improvement engineer. I still vote for a "small creek/river boat" project. Small enough to fit in a truck bed but light enough for on person to handle. Trolling motor or a 5hp motor.

Joe, honestly, everything about your channel is awesome. I do appreciate you and your family-crew. I’m up to ep15 on your boat build series and have a design question regarding displacement and material weight. I’m sure there is so much margin/safety factor that you don’t have to worry about it day to day across the build and that margin allows for addition & beef-it-up changes as you go. But all those 55 gal and 1 gallon drums, bolts of cloth, pounds of stainless screws and bronze and sheets of cousa add up. Massive fuel tank, live wells. I wondered if you could do a short video that speaks to design, displacement, materials weight tracking, and placement of weight. I’m sure the fuel tank, when topped up helps stability and its baffles help as she empties but I’m sure there’s more nuance to all of it. You have a manner of delivery that just packs useful detail in, while covering broad topics. That’s hard snd u crush it. Thanks so much

I used my cup gun, with several different nozzle sizes, for re-gelcoating my 20'er transom after major screw hole repairs. It lays it on thick, but only smooth on the OTHER side, LOL! I must have sanded half of that gelcoat off. I've since got a HVLP gun with a 2.5 nozzle. Before I came across your channel, I made a mold for a transom body livewell for my 26'er. It has a base which fits into the floorboar drain system, flanged sides which are angled to meet the transom slope and curve, and slips under the gunnel cap. It took a long time, and the difficulty was enhanced exponentially by my failure to make a plug first. I had to do a bit of fairing on bottom underside to match the floorboard height. The top, hatch and actual baitwell tank comes next, but I'm definately going to make the molds from a plug! Thanks!!!

I just have to decide on how to finish the mold, to better separate from the gelcoat of the real part. Epoxy, gelcoat, regular paint (achrilic). For sure I would like to use vinylester tooling gelcoat as a first layer on the part. Thanks capt Joe for all you do to explain. Rob

Valuable lesson here great video. I have that same inexpensive little gun the ES G100, which works great for gellcoating a mold to plug and just laying down resin, the small cups are a pain but a larger amount would harden before you empty the cup. The better continuous pot-fed guns cost thousands and are for big gellcoat jobs, laying glass and spraying for extended periods, they have somewhat of a steep learning curve.

Need to try you one of the 3M Accuspray HGP guns. It pressurizes the reservoir and pushes the gel coat to the gun. The disposable tips are wonderful. They do beautiful work too. Be sure it is the HGP gun and not the Performance gun which is the newer model that is gravity fed.

Hi, Fantastic vidieos. I am contemplating setting up a male mold, upside down and using Foam boards, lay these and secure them over the temp mold for a one off boat, then understand what is best to glass over the top and what the best glass to use, to get the best finish to try and redice the Sanding, Gelcoating, Sanding and finishing.

Joe, How do you deal with moisture in the lines due to such high humidity? I’m in Arkansas and deal with this all the time! I put loop’s in my air lines with drains at the bottom of the loop.This helps but doesn’t eliminate it all. I’m thinking of building a water cooler like a guy did in a video. Thanks for the video! You’re doing a great job with the how to step by step process of making a mold!

Captain Joe, I enjoy watching all of your videos as well as appreciate all of the information you share. I am replacing the floor in a 15 foot boat, that I own, and was interested in the mix you made with the laminating resin and the 406 silica. Is that a mixture I could use to fill the small gaps where the floor meets the inside of the boat?
@FishBumpTV
@FishBumpTV 20 дней назад
Glad you are enjoying the channel! Yes, you could use a mixture like that for filling small gaps or cracks. I usually like to add some milled fibers or some short strand fiberglass into the mix if you want to add strength for a more structural application. I have a video on the channel where I add different materials to epoxy resin to make different fillers. It might be helpful and give you some ideas for you project. Thanks for watching!

Thanks again capt. Joe great job I’ve never used a cup gun have sprayed gel ct. on repair jobs (minimally) using 2.5 nzl , with a cup gun what pressure are you shooting with? Also I’ve see the 3m gun a lot of guys talk about have u ever used 1 & what r your thoughts on the 2 guns ? I know cup gun is a lot cheaper, thanks again and great job
@FishBumpTV
@FishBumpTV 7 дней назад
Glad you are enjoying the videos! The cup gun is good for high volume, but not the most precise. So I like it for applying gelcoat on molded parts and surfaces, but that is about all I use it for. I don't have a 3.0 cup gun personally, but I could see it being a nice addition to the other gelcoat rigs I have. Maybe a video just on that topic would be helpful to you all. I have a adjustable pressure valve right at the spray rig, so I can adjust as needed according to conditions. This is a big help and I highly recommend it. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!

im getting a little nastalgic watching your tooling videos. when i was building patterns for brunswick i used to idolize the engineers. so i went to school for drafting, then i realized drawing boats isnt as much fun and i might have had more fun when i was covered in dust. there is a lot too it, keeps it from getting boring. about your t-top mold. it looks like your building out the inner side of the top, hats off to building both interior and exterior molds, hard to justify unless you plan to sell them. guessing you plan to seal inner and outer together by vacuum. thats how ive typically done it, then the pain in the ass of the dreaded "weld". its not hard just a tedious & time consuming task. but i am curious about mounting locations for t-top frame, and the trim location of these parts. its so quick and easy to build out a semi perpendicular fence around your plug / pattern. the fence is held off the finish cut line by the distance from edge of grinder / cutter to blade. so after parting, trimming the part to final shape happens in 1 pass by riding the flange created by the fence with your cutter. it also acts to keep resin from running off your mold onto the floor when in production. this was called a trim flange and it was a requirement on every mold for every single part before it would meet purchase requirements. building landing pedestals into the interior section of hard top where the frame bolts up would be a nice touch for version 2. maybe overhead storage... speaker enclosures.. im guessing your going to sell your boat in a production manner, thats awesome brother and i wish you all the best. its one hell of an investment to tool just 1 boat monetarily but also in time. the day you send out the first production model will be a great day and you definitely need to make a video of it.

Hi Joe, You are south of the USA. A very, very humid region. Working with Gelcoat in these conditions is quite tricky. I’m in the province of Quebec north of your country and right now USA “shipped” to us a humid air. I won’t do any Gelcoat for the next three days until fresh and more dry air will come. How do you manage this issue of humidity?
@FishBumpTV
@FishBumpTV 7 дней назад
Glad you are enjoying the videos! I grew up doing gelcoat and fiberglass work in this region, so I am just used to working with high humidity. Some good water traps in your air lines are a necessity, and making sure your surface is dry before application. Other than that we have to just work with what the weather gives us or we would not be able to get much done at all. I hope this helps and I wish you the best with your projects!

Thank you for answering to my interrogation about working Gelcoat, polyester and other resins in a humid environment. And yes, it’s very useful to see how different approach could help.
