For as long as I've been doing this type of work I'm still amazed with the amount of strength a few layers of fiberglass adds! These suckers are rock solid :-O Sure hope I got all the different heights of the panels right lol ;-) ! Guess we'll find out next week!

If you use peel-ply on your tabs - then peel when it is cured, it will leave a much nicer surface. You can also put your thickened epoxy in a piping bag for easier application of an even amount :) Love watching your channel!

I also like adding the fiberglass on top of the uncured fillet it lets you smooth out the layup without any bumps that would need to be sanded down. Nice job.

@sailingluana3037 4 года назад

great progress and cool idea for coolers. i had a thought ya may appreciate. instead of having an open drain. it may be a good idea to put in a drain pump like marine refridgerators have. this would allow you to keep the cold ice water saving much of your cooling capacity. also would allow you to add salt to the ice to have super cold drinks. then pump it out when done... just a thought.

@adamlubke9770 4 года назад

Andy , i love your videos, but why would you cut corrners and tabb over the FlowCoat. Little bit extra prep work would go a long way Grind the area clean prior to the Coosa board going in would have been so much easier , plus when you placed the board on a bedding , just cove it at the same time. Love your channel keep up the good work mate 👊

Your videos are great!!! I wanted to mention something that works great for the beginners and that's tell them use baby powder on exposed skin to keep fiberglass out of skin pores. Also I have looked at the Total Boats products and I wanted to mention a supplier I use and they have many of the same products (Express Composites Inc.) Keep up the GREAT work

@rogerheuckeroth7456 4 года назад

It is interesting to see the differences in how you do your work on boats, and how we do our work on industrial systems. In my business we work with vinyl ester FRP for its corrosion resistant properties. We work mostly on reactor vessels and ductwork. The biggest difference is that we are mainly concerned with strength and leak tight construction. Cosmetic appearance is not as important, but it's a mater of personal pride in workmanship. Love watching your videos. I always learn something new or learn about some new tool. One question I have is that you mentioned that acetone does not remove wax. Are you sure about that? We always scuff and wipe with acetone and have never had a problem with adhesion.

@NoLimitsNZ 4 года назад

Love your video's Andy. From one boatbuilder to another why dont you use pelply? I use it then give it a quick scuff and carry on with my glass work. Saves me a lot of sanding and alot of the amines (bad stuff) that is in epoxy get taken off when you remove it. Also i grind out a little rebate (1 - 1.5mm ) where the tabbing sits giving me less filling and fairing. Keep up the good work.

Do the weep holes in the Coosa need to be drill-fill-drilled?

@ikerstges 4 года назад

Hi! What a great resource channel you have here, thank you soooo much! Together with the channel "Sail Life", you are a great source for my upcoming plans of working with glassfiber and epoxy. I have NO experience with glassfiber production at all, but I am an experienced woodworker. I see many handtools used for grinding and sanding, of course all connected to a vacuum cleaner. From my woodworking experience, I know the vacuum cleaner hose can be an annoyance (if not a pain). Have you maybe found a fairly unobtrusive flexible hose or do you use just the hose that comes with the vac cleaner? Once more: thank you for all the expertise and I will check-out your listed hardware and see to support if I can. Cheers, Igor

@josephturner3913 4 года назад

Hi Andy love the cooler idea , one question with weep holes. The water run off goes where, on the deck or into bilge area ? I have a cooler above deck and a expandable plug and hose that runs to a above water line drain bulkhead fitting.

Andy can you help, I have a materiAl like Awlgrip or similar on my yacht deck but the colour has faded (originally pastel blue) I want to paint it but not sure what paint I can use as I want it to remain non slip. Can you give your genius thoughts on this thanks Dan

@saltwatermont1238 3 года назад

Does the gelcoat (white) you didn't sand to bare Glass (green) effect the bond of the supports or does it not matter as long is its sanded well and cleaned. I may have had a false understanding that glass wouldn't lay on gelcoat and only on exposed glass.

Hi. I just started watching your channel about a month ago. You have given me so much information to repair, form and maintain a fiber glass Boat. But have a big question for you.. I want to buy a wooden hull boat, but I want to glass the bottom. She's a 40' Christ Craft 1967. All wooden repairs where made and completed. She has a double hull. I know placing her in the water to reseal the planks but I don't want the boat to take on the water weight to expand the planks. I was wonder if the bottom was glassed above the water by 2-1/2' higher it would keep the hull dry and not take on so much weight. Can you let me know what you think?

@imabeliever244 4 года назад

So, you put weep holes in the new lockers, but where does any water go other than in that well? Will you put another hole in the well that drains into the bilge?

Something that I ended up editing out of the video was that there's going to be a couple of scuppers in the center section of the helm area directly next to where the weep holes are located :-) Anything that drains out of the lockers should go directly into the scuppers and down into the bilge keeping the entire center area dry ;-)

@stevegem4155 4 года назад

Andy I was wondering why you don't finish your tabbing with a wide layer of chop strand that has been torn rather than cut so that you get a nice feather edge and reduce your sanding time

@boatworkstoday 4 года назад

mostly because I was using epoxy, which doesn't work very well with CSM :-/

@br5498 4 года назад

U.S. chop is held together with styrene and epoxy doesn't get a reaction out of it, Mads is using a chop held together with a powder so his epoxy works with it..

@outlawflyer7868 4 года назад

Cool as always but I don't get why you covered the drain holes in the first place especially since you planned on making non-insulated built in ice chest so now the water is going to leak into the walk way area which will probably be slick as snot instead of draining down into the middle of the boat and out the back out the drain plug.

What was rationale for leaving the existing gelcoat. I know epoxy will stick to it, but seems overkill when the underlying bond (gelcoat to laminate) is potentially weaker.

@sailingmarie7097 4 года назад

Hi Andy. Just wondering...you’ve laminated 1708 straight on the gelcoat... Why not on bare fiberglas? And yes I’ve seen the epoxy on gelcoat test. It doesn’t has to be “that strong”?

@boatworkstoday 4 года назад

The test I did a few years back was regarding applying gelcoat onto epoxy which is generally considered a no-no. Applying epoxy onto a poly surface (gelcoat) works great and will give a very strong bond. I didn't completely sand off the gelcoat as it wasn't necessary, and it would have removed a lot of fiberglass in the process

@arntsaet95 Год назад

Why are you laminating over topcoat and not sanding down to fiberglass? To save time? I think this is not the proper way to do it. It can cause de-lamination because the fiber is not connected to fiber, and also the resin will not add itself into the old cured resin...😊anyway Nice work.
