How to bond wood with epoxy and fiberglass 

This is what I used for epoxy at the time: amzn.to/4370Gsv It’s by West System but I have since tried and prefer the epoxy from Total Boat. It is less expensive and works the same: a.co/d/39bJp5V To hold them in place while the wood bonds up, you can always use tiny set screws. You would put the screw in to hold the wood in place while the epoxy cures, then remove the screw and fill the screw hole with epoxy before putting the cloth over it. That will hold everything in place without clamps and hopefully won’t make too much of an issue with your roof. The alternative is to use fast set epoxy in small batches on a hot day. It will set up in a few minutes so you can just hold it in place while it sets, then you can let go and avoid making extra holes in your roof.

You can. To get a really smooth finish on it you can then cover it in thickened epoxy that is thickened with fairing powder. This will let you sand it back with ease and get it all smoothed up and ready for paint. The end result will look immaculate! Being how this was the underside of something that will become a storage area, I just painted it once it was cured.

It’s a powder by West System. They come in different properties 405 being the strongest to 410 being the easiest to sand later. This was done with 406.

@@RiggingDoctor Thank you very much for your reply, this video is just what I needed for my current project. Thank you.

also what kinda wood did you use?

You want it to be warmer than 60°F and you want to use Douglas Fir because I have been told that it works best with epoxy resin.

@@RiggingDoctor got it. thanks😃

The top and bottom edges would still be 90 degrees. You might be better off with using a triangular piece. The right angle into the corner and the top and bottom edges would only be a 45 degree bend.

Rigging Doctor : Good idea. Thanks.

Thanks :)

You can and it should adhere very well to the wood. In the example shown, the fiberglass was only put on part of one side; the rest was simply covered in resin.

Yes* *it’s supposed to be good enough but I’ve seen over and over where regular plywood in epoxy rots out quickly next to marine plywood in epoxy that holds strong. If you can’t find plywood, maybe give foam cores a look. They work the same as plywood but will never rot!

@@RiggingDoctorThank you for the quick reply. would you happen to have a link to this foam core?

How bout just putting the think epoxy in a big Ziploc, cut the corner and pipe it into the corner, like a cake...wait then go over it with your finger.

That’s why I work outside and carefully, so I don’t get it on my hands 🙃

Depends on the application.

@@RiggingDoctor application on this video is wrong
