We now can start fiber glassing the hull. Using 36" cloth, we covered the transom then the stem. In the (below left) picture you can see that we are now laying out the cloth for the side and bilge panels. Making sure to overlap each seam by at least four inches. (below right) After the cloth is applied, it has a rough texture. This will have to be sanded and additional coats of epoxy will be applied to get a smooth finish. The picture marked as finish has the first coat of epoxy.
(Above Left) This photo shows how the second coat of epoxy has created a smother finish. (Above Right) With a lot of sanding we are ready for the final coat of epoxy. (Below Center) After the final sanding, the last coat of epoxy is applied. We end up with a very smooth finish that we can apply paint too.
