    fiberglass relic restoration

    Re: fiberglass relic restoration Here's How I recommend doing stringers and decks... Don't lay the Biax with the CSM out. Lay it down as normal. Then lay a final layer of CSM on top. Click the pics to enlarge You can just use two layers of 1708 on the stringers and still be good.

    Transom... Screwed and tatooed.

    Re: Transom... Screwed and tatooed. That is CSM in the pic. I'd guesstimate 5-6 layers and about 2 - 3 qts of resin. Mix, Pour, and roll. One Layer at a time. No need to wait till it dries. As soon as the first layer is wet out, apply the next. I'm confused. The Stern of your boat is shaped...

    new here have question

    Re: new here have question Here's how I recommend doing it... NOTE: It takes up to 72 hours for the PL to cure. It will remain flexible even when totally cured, but it must be cured or the gases it gives off during curing will not allow the resin to cure properly. (Click the Pic to Enlarge)
