    1981 Sportcraft 270 repair underway - transom, stringers, & repower

    Somewhere like 6 and 9 worked for me. 3 and 6 would do the job but I wanted more hull contact. In addition I had alot of thru bottom of my hull screws that went clear thru from the prior owner.

    Perfecto! period. It's a learning curve and with what I saw for your 1st laydown you are in the 99.99%. Try not to stretch out the glass too much cause you can lose the strength but it can be Worked. Second coat wet on wet is the shiss. I can say I ripped off some glass at times that got me mad.
