Glassing the Hull Inside

The glass cloth will not fit neatly into the corners at the bow and stern so it is cut a few inches short. Later, smaller pieces can be fit into the corners.

The epoxy resin wants to pool in the bottom of the hull so you have to keep moving it up the sides or "wick" it out with a foam brush.

Glass the Inside of the Hull - Jan 9, 2013

The procedure for glassing the inside is similar to the outside with a few changes.

Like the outside, you first sand and fair, fill the holes, and sand again. Then apply a seal coat of resin and let cure for a day. (continued in left col.)

Glass the Underside of the Deck - Jan 12-13, 2013

First, the underside of the coaming riser is cut flush. Then the holes are filled and the underside is sanded.

The glass is laid out and then wet out with the epoxy resin.

The next day, the coaming riser is reinforced with additional strips of cloth and resin.
