fiberglassing the boat hull

      After 1340 working hrs in two years time,the hull is finally ready for fiberglassing.By reviewing numbers of articles and info gather from some boat building forum regarding method for fiberglassing.I guess Im ready for the job.

After cleaning the surface ,a layer of seal coat with epoxy has been applied prior to applying the cloth.

the surface has been lightly sanded again to remove dust,dirt and any amine blush after curing by using self made sanding board.Cleaning the surface is needed with solvent by using a rag soaked with thinner and ready for the second coat,which is the glass coating.

Layout and precut the fiberglass.
With the help from my brother to prepare the resin,it took us 6 hrs to finish the fist layer of mat to the bottom of the hull.The side of the hull and I thought  I can finish it myself.It took me 11 hrs just to finish one side of the hull,crazy job.
Time and strenght doesnt allow me to continue to apply the second layer of biaxial to the precure of the first layer.After the first layer turn full cure,just have to prepare the surface again by sanding.
