Hi all, I wanted to get some opinions on what foam would be best to use in my boat (15' tri-hull bowrider). I know some of you will say not to use any and that is also an option that I am considering.
Originally there was some light foam lining the keel on both sides of the main stringer, but...
Does anyone know what the PL brand equivalent of 3M 4200 is? I've read that PL Premium = 3M 5200 but I'm looking for something slightly less permanent...
I'm wondering what everyone's opinion is on which method is better for joining plywood panels together (for a transom) and for bonding a transom to the outer skin of the hull. The 2 methods I see mentioned most often are:

I'm still in the grinding phase but I'm trying to firm up my plans for rebuilding and I'm not sure about the best way to attach the new sole.

I have another fiberglass question that I have not been able to find an answer to on the other posts, it's about fiberglass tape. I was looking at the products on the US Composites site and noticed that they have 1708 in a pre-sized tape (6" & 12" wide). It seemed to me that this would be...
I am hoping someone can help clear up some of my confusion about fiberglass layup. I?ve been reading a lot of the posts on here but I can?t quite put the pieces together into a clear picture. There seem to be so many different options and variables that it's a little overwhelming. If I...
