    Maybe…it was incredible how fast it cured..I wanted my first attempt on something less critical to the structure of the boat. happy with the results.

    Update 6-29 another project that needed attention. The aft locker was toast. I removed that a couple years ago. After removing the rotted wood i made a template out of cardboard. So today I decided to tackle this and use polyester instead of epoxy. Learning curve here. Here’s the locker empty...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    That said if you start chipping away at that layer and it seems to have a good bond you may be okay.

    If it’s your first layer I’d probably start over. You need a good bond to the boats original polyester. Hope that makes sense It really should be saturated and clear when doing layers. Just like the picture that tpen posted.

    Starter crapped out today, I tapped it with a hammer then it worked.

    Probably… had a 76 Volkswagen rabbit that had the same issue. Always carried a hammer with me… the bendix finally gave out.. replaced the starter. others may agree don’t go with an overseas cheapo one. Get the real deal. JMO

    4200 vs 5200

    Got it. Thank you. just been getting mixed opinions on what to use. It’s a belly tank that is under the aft cabin. It’s got it’s own compartment. My fear was having the strips move around while getting it in place. Glueing them on would alleviate them shifting while the tank is installed...

    4200 vs 5200

    Looking for advice. I’m ready to attached neoprene strips to my new fuel tank. I’ve got a ton of 4200 and very little 5200 available. Can I use 4200 instead of 5200 to adhere the strips? Any guidance would be appreciate. Thanks in advance

    Bent skeg on outboard

    Doesn’t look that bad. A Bit of heat from a propane torch should make it easy to straighten out. Go slow and easy

    Some will store resin in a fridge. Just a thought if you have an extra fridge.

    Any Transom experts here. I have a Transom Rebuilding Question.

    Not really..did you use a fiberglass metal roller? Using that tool levels out resin, evens out the clumps and gets rid of air bubbles trapped under the csm I’m no expert but I did a ton of research while doing my transom. couple other things to consider. you could have started by tabbing in...

    Did you use the roller on the csm? If you roll it out when things are wet it won’t clump. you can sand/ grind the clumps flush. Learning curve. the extra fuzzies happen. Cut them with the multi tool. It happens.

I’ve got a new aluminum tank on the way. should these strips be affixed to the tank or placed in the boat? Ive seen it both ways. You tube videos and what not. I’m a bit confused as to what approach to...
