    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    It was a recommendation on here a while back, and the way it was explained made sense, so I did it.....but for the life of me, I can't find the post.

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    It was a recommendation from someone here a while back. I also wanted to give it added protection. I know clean up wasn't necessary, but she's been treated horribly.....Just felt fitting to clean the tank up.

    Cleaned up the gas tank today.... she looks brand new! Did a 3lb pressure test... all good there! I played with the resin catalyst and cabosil mix and slapped a layer of resin on half of the tank. Will get the other half later. Will check to see if the reason hardened when I get home. Attached...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    Found another fiberglass shop that carries the stuff here. I probably have him higher numbers than I need.... but I said I'd need 17 feet by 12 feet of 1708 biaxial....... the same in chopped stand mat... catalyst and a roller.... he said I would need over 50lbs of resin for all that and said...

    What do you mean ¼ chopped fiber? And what type plywood do you suggest if not marine? I want it to look nice and even for when I gel coat.

    I had intentions on starting the rebuild today but realized that I had a burr load of tools in my garage that still needed to be cleaned from all the fiberglass...... so I spent the afternoon blowing and power washing everything including the inside of the tent. All good to go! And and got a...

    Fixing my motor. Will this fit?

    I have chosen for now to go the route of fixing/replacing parts/rebuilding my current motor since I am doing the same with my boat. seems the pistons are shot, block needs to be bored and needs to be rebuilt. I have found what seems to be a complete rebuilt powerhead on ebay and would like...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    Back out there yesterday. Did some more grinding and cleaned up the transom area. I know I need ti focus on the boat but I got a notification and found a power head on ebay and I think it matches the engine I've got. Can anyone confirm? Thinking that might just get the engine running. I've...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    As I read more across 3 forums, I am realizing from some, that I am not done with grinding. I barely touched the ski locker and gas tank area and need to at least grind those areas a little further out (5 inches total from stringer and bulkheads) so I have dull glass to adhere to my resin. I...

    Clean up day these past couple days. Got a trailer dolly from facebook marketplace! I love it already! Slapped another suit and some gloves on and just been blowing the Dickens out of anything that was in that tent. Try to clean as much of that powder off all my tools as possible. I let the rain...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    I want to gel coat the boat, so poly resin is the way to go....correct? Will I need extra PPE for this?
