Fiberglassing almost done

Completed forward section fiberglassing except the stern part (next weekend plan). Done with my father-in-law.

No drinking and eating policy, but when it comes to mixing epoxy, Zlatopramen cup is a king.

Fiberglassing cont.

50% of the hull completed. Consuming 100g/1m2 per each layer of 160gsm glass. 2 layers plus one for reinforcement of corners, keel and stern. The base layer takes up some more as the wood sips some.

Fiberglassing begun

First couple of test run on scrapwood. Ordered Expoxy from Havel composites and first part done is transom. Mahog parts appear very nicely. Epoxy is well workable, it can be trimmed in 5-8 hours, after that it is hard. It sets fully in more than 24 hours. Sanding is more easy than sand mahog planks or epoxy. Epoxy appear to be quite nasty stuff, but work with it is clean without fumes and odour. When it sets it is almost clear as plexiglass with very light yellow tones.
Whole boat can be fiberglassed in one day, if you have helper, everything ready and you know what you are doing. I plan to do it in a week over evenings.

Finish before fiberglassing almost completed
