Fiberglassing




Epic day on the boat.

Overall, very pleased with the outcome of my first fiberglassing experience.

Starting with the weather. 75 and sunny.



Great lesson in fiber-glassing. Since the resin and hardener chemically react and actually get warm when they mix, keeping the mixed resin in the sun speeds up the hardening time like crazy. "Pot Time" was supposed to be about 15 minutes, but was actually about 4 in the sun and 7 in the shade.
