Re: Glastron V-147 Project
Deck glass estimate:
Step 1: Coat 1/2" ply with resin
Step 2: layer of 1.5oz mat on both sides of 1/2" ply
Estimate deck at 53"x141" (widest point on deck is 53", longest 141")
= 3x 50" x 53" strips mat = 55.2 sq. ft. mat per side
= 110.4 sq. ft. mat
Step 3: Put in place and screw down - strips of wetted mat between deck and stringers.
Step 4: glass to hull flange - first course, 1.5 oz mat strips with 4" overlap onto deck and hull.
12 x 8" width (4" overlap on hull/deck) x 36" strips (2" overlap between strips)
2 x 8" width x 6" strips
= 12x36"x8" + 2x6"x8" = 24.7 sq. ft. mat
Step 5: Glass to hull flange with 1708 biax - 8" overlap onto hull and deck.
12 x 16" width (8" overlap on hull/deck) x 36" strips (2" overlap between strips)
2 x 16" width x 6" strips
= 12x36"x16" + 2x6"x16" = 49.3 sq. ft. 1708 biax
Step 6: Glass entire deck with 9-10oz cloth, overlap 4" onto hull
4x61" (53" + 2x 4" overlap) x 50" (width of glass roll) strips.
=4x61"x50" = 84.7 sq. ft.
Totals:
Mat:110.4 + 24.7 = 135.1
Biax: 49.3 sq. ft.
Cloth: 84.7 sq. ft.
Resin: ((135.1 sq. ft.)*(4oz/sq. ft.)*(1 gallon/128oz)) + ((49.3 sq. ft.)*(1 gallon/36 sq. ft.)) + ((84.7 sq. ft.)*(1 gallon/58.5 sq. ft.)) ~= 7 gallons

Started thinking about the deck. I think this is my current plan of action:
