I hate to tell you this mate but combining both sanding and fiberglass is even worse than those things individually 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mainly wanted to glass over the bog to keep it from cracking when taking on off the trailer. Being steel hull bog cracks let's water in starts rust. I'd like to be able to use this boat through salt water ways so no water under bog would be good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 73crownwagon Posted December 2, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2018 Being that it was quite cold last night the resin qasnt fully hard this morning was clogging the sanding disks I decided to crack onto the trailer and give it a birthday. Axle out will re bearing this week Heavy wire wheel on the grinder and a lock of paint. Looks reasonable for a warrent still yet to fix the wiring. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73crownwagon Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Cracked into the sanding this afternoon got half the hull done then slapped a thick coat of epoxy primer over. The finish isnt perfect but I'm really not fussy since I'll be relatively rough with the boat once its running. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73crownwagon Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 I've been around fibre glass before you just dont scratch yourself after you have used it and run cold water over open skin areas afterwards never had a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
