I'm looking for, and pricing materials for my stejcraft rebuild (link at bottom).
I'm working out how much glass, unwaxed and waxed resin to use.
Researching and reading threads around here is great. I just cant find every answer to every question I have......sometimes
(Q.1)Is this right? Should I go this way?
The fibreglass supplier tells me I should flo coat any (All) bare fibreglassing. I've never seen or heard of anyone doing this. He's saying I should flow coat finish all the glassing I do rather than finish the last layer with waxed resin, use unwaxed resin all the way and seel with flo coat. Do this under the floor over stringers, all of it, otherwise water can work in through the glass fibres.
Any thoughts on that? I'm thinking it might be crap...
(Q.2) should I try to reinforce my hull right up to the top of the hull were the cap joins????
Or should I accept that the sturdy 30 year old hull is stronger left as original.
I'm trying to figure out were to stop, as far as the glassing on the hull goes.
Any insite appreciated, and I will also keep researching ehe.
