Seems it is not on sale in Europe. Anybody know why?

Thank you for telling me that i needed to wait for long time, for the sealer to fully cured. Preferably 5-7 days before I put filler in where the sealer applied

Looks very itchy with all that glass…

How long can I hold untill I apply wood filler after sealer is applied? Is it okay to apply filler after 2 days or 5 days?

How much epoxy for a 34 x80 in oak table top I have glued together. I have already bought the total boat resin , just d😮know how much to mix with p

Wich comoressor used

I'm just starting out and using total boat tabletop on a Charcuterie board. I cannot for the life of me get rid of the bubbles. My shop is 72° & 45% humidity. I am stirring very slowly and carefully. I tried heating the liquids in a hot water bath, which helped but didn't eliminate bubbles. I also tried putting the mix in a vacuum chamber, which barely did anything to remove the bubbles. Hitting it with a torch or heat gun only gets the big bubbles. Oh and I sealed the pieces with shellac & an epoxy seal coat. I'm doing all the things everyone suggests that you do, yet my pours are still filled with thousands of micro bubbles. I'm about to give up on this. I'm so frustrated.

youtube put you thru 45 sec on adds to see this video.

Great!

Andy jak zawsze świetny wykład. Jednak, czy możesz pokazać w jednym filmie malowanie żelkotem i topkotem. Kiedy żelkot, a kiedy topkot. Jeżeli żelkot i użycie Coverall Film. W filmie kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqKwmnqCasusj6s pokazałeś malowanie żelkotem, ale brak mi pokazania samego wykończenia, polerowania malowanego pokładu. Pozdrawiam z Polski.

I need a small amount and the container I have with the 3:1 is waaay too much. So if I set my scale to grams, for thickset I’d need 100 grams of part A resin to 28 grams B hardner? I’m only confused because let’s say I wanted less than 100 grams then what?! And the formula to figure it out on total boats website is beyond me

Excellent!!!

$40 a quart, well I will pass

Can i use this product for a top coat on my painted deck?

Andy is that you! It's like you've been assimilated into AI. What do your girls say about their Dad ?😅

Andy is a legend.

Can i use this over polyester fiberglass resin to get a smooth surface then gel coat over it? It will be under the water line, some of the info i read says this is for ober the water line.

What grit are you sanding to before the second coat?

Great advice - Thanks Andy

Can you comment on the difference between quick coats, seal coats, and flood coats and which total boat products serve these purposes?

Awesome video. Question. If I wanted to make just a hollow mold how would or could I remove the fiberglass from the foam after it hardens? Basically I want to make a hollow structure out of the fiberglass based on the shape of the foam.

My application is filling cracks and voids in wood. The cracks are 1/16" to 1/4". Voids are holes 1/2" deep. I might be able to scrape the top bit off but the deeper parts will still be uncured. What do you recommend?

As someone who has done thousands of repairs over many decades as a professional fabricator, I can say that, apart from impacts, star cracking/crazing is a result of two things; 1. The laminate is too thin (or too dry in a minority of cases) causing the laminate to flex excessively. While gelcoat doesn't want to flex, especially as it ages. 2. The gelcoat is initially applied too thick (this occurs in corners or difficult to spray areas). The thicker the gelcoat is, the less it will be able to flex along with the laminate. This is exacerbated by time. As the gelcoat ages it becomes more brittle and less able to flex as the styrene leaches out over time. Without styrene, the resin in the gelcoat becomes brittle. This is why a gelcoat which has been applied too thick will usually not show up as a problem until after a few years when the styrene begins to evaporate. Cheers

How will this hold up in a oak wood truck bed?

Would this hold up on an oak truck bed floor?

MAHALO🤙🏽for your video🙏🏽

Thanks, allways no-nonsense and very informative. Love it- Cheers 🍺

What is the material name please

Can I somehow mix this and pour through a narrow opening into an enclosed void, or do I have to completely open the top of the void first? I have a 60 year old fiberglass boat, and the benches are closed voids meant for flotation should the craft be swamped. Each bench has a tunnel down through from front to back to allow water to flow to the stern at the center-line of the floor. I've discovered that the forward bench has tube that has deteriorated and allows water to easily get into that voice space. I'm considering the relative merits of just adding more fiberglass to patch that, or potentially cutting a 2" hold in the top of the bench and using that to fill the void with foam, then glassing over that hole. So -- can I effectively fill at void of about 2 square feet through a two in hole?

My later coats cause earlier coats to crackle, for lack of a better descriptor. Did I apply the second and third coats too soon? I waited almost 2 hrs and made sure it wasn't tacky. I had better luck with the penetrating epoxy.

Thanks, Andy, and TotalBoat. #mattdv

Exolentay!

😎

Are they structural or cosmetic? Does crazing leak?

I'm not surprised you guys do this, TB is such an incredible company and it's because of the support from the top and all the hard work from everyone!

Wake up humanity, they are finding fiberglass in shellfish and all aquatic life, we are destroying our ecosystems just for pleasure and profit The arrogance of mankind is beyond comprehension

When trying to achieve color match, where do you do that, in doors, outside full sun? Lighting?

Great job about to use this for the first time!

Can this be used on a business' sign (near the water) and how long will it last before needing repainted? What is the repainting process down the road? Does it need to be taken down to the original substrate/primer, re-primed and painted from scratch? Would love to see other applications like this (since boat in vid "can't be in water for more than 72 hours at-a-time -OR- is it implied boat will have a separate hull paint...")🤔

For clarity, is the only reason you did it in two halves was to preserve the herringbone pattern? Was that necessary?

how long do you wain between the penatraitin coat and the table top final coat

I've watched a lot of boat and fiberglass building and repair videos over the past decade, and I can honestly say that Andy Miller of @BoatworksToday is about the best there is in terms of content (info & tutorials) and delivery.

This looks amazing! Once dry it is ok for getting wet?

And we love to watch Xyla build stuff! I would never have even thought about buying Botal Toat products without her channel. Now I want to try a bar top using the super clear epoxy. #totalboat #xylafoxlin #diyboat #diyrocket

Great video as always.

Not every boat. I don't know of any on by 32 year old boat. Just got done buffing and polishing every bit of gelcoat.

Could you just sand the cracks back and then gel coat without going all the way through to the fiberglass?

I so needed to see that, thanks!

Best solution frend ❤❤❤❤

So in this particular example would you not sand and polish ?
