    Multiple layers of fiberglass and laminating PE resin

    When adding multiple layers of fiberglass with non-waxed resin, is it okay to add PVA to only the last layer, even though layers below may have started to cure prior to adding the PVA? I'm speaking about adding multiple (2-3) layers at the same time, working resin into each layer as I go...

    Point Gap

    My Seloc # 1301 Johnson/Evinrude repair manual calls for a .030 point gap on my JH-23A 3HP motor. I have seen other documentation that suggests a point gap of .020.
