I read to do 2 layers each of 2, 4, and 8 inch tape for bonding to the hull so you need to grind out about 4 inches from either side of the stringer. Then cover it all in biax.

Here are some good links to a lot of the questions you will have. These are all links recommended to me by other members to read up on
Bill's Boatworks Here are some big hitters on stringer/floor jobs. My apologies to anyone I forgot. In no particular order: Buffalo's '88 Barefoot Nautique Skibum's '87 Ski Nautique rebuild (and his website) aka's '83 SN Wakeslayer's '68 Stang Joe in NY's all composite 60mph Nautique rebuild The Grinch's '79 BFN UK79's '78SN Also search for the Pumpkin Patch. Lots of good reading there too. The Warrior is probably an hour at least from Bham. Maybe more, I was young so who knows. There was plenty of butter water, and hard core old schoolers that would do stupid stuff like start off on skis off the top of the boat house. That was back in 1985-1989. The main thing is keep reading! |

yes, gelling is an art just like leading a car body, it takes skill or the end result is alot of wet sanding. i truly will "spot in" boats with bc/cc and at the edge will melt the paint in with a melting agent

My work has been so busy not complaining its been kind of slow,but i did get one side put in.I will post some pics, looks pretty good for a beginner.I did cut the glass down to about a 1/4 inch wasn't bad just plumbed it. Man that mat soaks up alot of epoxy. Had a hard time with the epoxy running so ive got to get some aerosil cabosil to thicken. Yeah we got about 2 inches of snow Friday and the kids loved it. We get excited about snow don't get much.

I don't remember the last time I got hot silver shoes while spraying anything.  I haven't played with lead in about 15 yrs.
I've been told spraying gel is like spraying nasty high build primer. You know the type. Hard as hell to sand, one spot looks like glass, other spot looks like the surface of the moon. |

Yep I remember the few times we got snow as a kid in Bham. Usually just ice storms! Hope you got to build a snowman with your kids. We got to here. I am still in the grinding the hull stage but making progress day by day.

the old man was a leader, all high end cars, he was the best around...not much on personality though. sanding gel is like sanding a diamond.
