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.
