I will be fiberglass reinforcing the interior walls of the hulls where the anchor plates attach near the crossbars. 1. Should I remove the hulls and place them on their sides so the resin won't run down the walls? 2. Apply cloth, mat or both? Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks, |

1. Yes. Putting the hulls on their sides will make laying the fiberglass much easier. 2. I'd use cloth, not mat. Working through the porthole can be messy and a bit of a pain. Be sure to mask off the hull around the porthole so you don't drip resin all over the place. I also suggest investing in a box of disposable latex gloves. If you can get the glass to wrap around the corner to connect the hull to the deck, it's a good thing to do. You'll probably have to make a fillet in the corner though to get the glass around the curve. sm |
