Love the demo, BUT just as Xavier asks, how do you join the hull and deck together? I´m working on Kyoshos vintage double outborder "Casablanca" and my biggest concern is how to join the to parts! Would really appreciate a video on that.
Excellent video, very long, and I'm not complaining, I wish it was longer, to go into even more detail. You've mastered your craft, and I have so many questions after watching this. I hate background music in videos, but the light jazz was great. Good job, I subscribed immediately
Did we ever see the complete boat he was building? I can picture the pieces coming together but wanted to see it done. I lowered the volume so I may have missed some information but I appreciate the video.
how do you join those two parts, the hull and the deck? vid wouldve been perfect if you ddnt omit those :) i hope you would reply on how you joined the two. thanks
Sir, can i get the list of the names of chemicals those u have used here? i know a very few... like gel coat, resin , hardener, but what are the other chemicals? sir, i works with epoxy resin and hardener but the problem is within 5 - 10 mints it become sticky, thats why i cann't work properly.... jelp me please.. how i can extend the time of reaction of resin and hardner as well as the hull will be perfectly hard....?
so why the drilling the holes to the mould´s? is there a step you forgott? i think you used them then joining deck and hull to gether, due to its hard to join the parts without the parts beeing held by the moulds?
Really wish they would have shown how they joined the deck and hull, watched the whole video just to see that part, I have a set of molds and that's the most confusing part. Laying up isn't hard, joining is.
Good video demonstration. My only objection is I seen you using a steel hammer on the mold. You should only be using a rubber or rawhide hammer. Also when you are using chopped mat you never want to cut the fiberglass is should be torn on the edges to keep from seeing seam lines. Overall pretty good video. Except for the porno music from the 70's LOL
It is actually called a haul until it is joined with the deck.it is then called a Hull. I actually don't know what I'm talking about.thanks for reading.
I have zero experience with fiberglass work. I have watched tons of how-to videos on creating molds and laying in the glass. and this covered both extremely well. I only wish the video had continued to show how to join the separate pieces together. I am about ready to start on my very first project, and joining the parts is the ONLY thing I cannot find a good tutorial on. Sadly, that is the only negative to this video.
After you coat it five times with the wax you spray it with something but don't explain what it is. Text on the video says "PVA Application" but no explanation of what it is.
+Mr. Johnson I thought that the wax alone acts as the release agent. If you're making multiple copies from the same mold, do you need to wax and spray each time? Just spray? Neither, for subsequent uses of the mold?
+Roger Garrett → The gel coat (resin) seems to take off a lot of wax; so yes you need to wax every time you use the mold. But not always 5 times;..... the more shiny the mold the better it will release. Once you start doing fiberglass laminations, you will learn how many coats of wax you will need for each mold. Keep in mind Once you get a part stuck in a mold you will wish you had spend more time with a release agent. I have made parts without pva and they were very difficult to remove unless your mold is flexible. BTW, the PVA will stick to the freshly made part and washes off. It is water soluble, I used to reduce PVA with alcohol or even water. PVA is misted on the waxed mold with super thin mist coat. The PVA doesn't need to have any thickness. A lot of laminate work is an art rather than an absolute.
+Mr. Johnson Correct that is PVA made by Rexell. Part all #10 liquid mold release. It is also available in a paste. Spraying the liquid PVA in several layers is the correct way to do this. Any questions please msg me. I have a boat repair shop here in SE Texas.
35min and you guys never showed joining the 2 halves nor did you show the final product lol And where the hell was the 100mph boat lol Looks like one of Jeff's molds from insane boats ( gen3 cat) Anyway I guess I learned something and I see why there $300-$500 a "HULL" now lol
15:00 "at this time we're going to use a modeling clay plastercine, something we used when we were kids, but we're going to use it for an adult project now."---------ummm old dude.....you're using it to build a toy model boat....
why bother making a video that leaves out alot of the process and and no explanation of some of the process. people who know how to do it are not the ones watching the videos.
It's a boat HULL.. HULL. Not HAUL. HULL. And it is carbon fiber not carbon fibre. For fux sake. These guy's have been getting high on fiberglass resin fumes.
