Building Up The Locker Insert With MORE Fiberglass !

[@mtnbiker0205]

I don't know anyone else who can squeeze more educational content into 20mins than you. We should have you run the program in the United States for getting shop back into the schools. Keep up the good work!

[@grosseileracingteam]

Hey Andy, thanks for pointing out the difference in using the large or small rollers. Gotta get your kids out on the water when your boat is DONE next spring! Thanks for posting!

[@VW.907]

Sanding is my therapy.

[@n95home]

Travis I wish I'd known that 3months ago you could have done all of mine 👍👍🤣🤣

[@reelcs]

Andy ... I have seen a lot of glass work over my lifetime and gotta tell you ... well you already know ... your quality craftsmanship is awesome! One to model for sure. Thank you for educating us.

[@richardvargas9224]

Huge fan of your work, and love that you go into detail to explain your process

[@dashan6249]

Thanks for a great and informative video again Andy I sorta wish you were over here in Australia, I would be on your doorstep with a handful of cash to get you to help with refurbishing a yacht that I bought to teach my 13yr old twin daughters to sail in ( 30' Catalina Mk11 ) my fibreglassing skills have improved enormously thanks to you , but Geez man you make it look easy, thanks again for your work mate. Regards Steve

[@alexku8452]

For the hot glue residue, as this usually has a tendency to gum up your sanding disc. try isopropyl alcohol. Usually soaking hot glue with that stuff makes it almost fall off on its own.

[@darrenscheepers5681]

Thanks Andy, you are a pleasure to watch working, like most artists at work and a great instructor as mentioned heaps before. Also just the inspiration that I needed to continue with my boat project that's been put on hold for the last year. Thanks again and keep up the good work, you're a bloody legend.

[@georgelewis8904]

We have grown up around boats,fishing sister and myself still like to sometime go fishing, kind of stays with you, hope you all get to have fun.

[@triprobinson2808]

You really should consider making this an insulated cooler. Good volume.

[@georgelewis8904]

Thanks for the information, tips and tricks, some of what you are doing shows ability, suchlike jobs I struggle with now I know it is possible.

[@davidboyd8822]

Oh Glorious sanding.

[@rastagrastag9496]

Good stuff Andy👍👍👍

[@brianhof7599]

Just an awesome video this week. Great camera work on the air and excess epoxy being rolled out. Also, I liked how you pointed out and explained the white areas under the glass. I always fear I am trapping air in my 1708 by not getting it saturated enough with epoxy.

[@hajovskymatthew]

Glad I found your channel Andy!

[@bitngeo]

Andy - Thanks for the great video. I have a similar situation that I'm trying to repair and your video has given me some great direction and much needed confidence. Thanks again from St Paul, MN... go Vikes! ;)

[@boatworkstoday]

My Dad likes the Vikings so I'll give you a one time pass on your team selection lol ;-)

[@stanthology]

Recently I found that a great tool for abrading low spots in an area I want to adhere epoxy to is my cheapo circular wire brush chucked into my drill. I got a bunch of them from Harbor Freight. I wanted to abrade a low spot in a layer of thickened epoxy which sanding wouldn't work on so I tried the wire brush in the drill. I was delighted when the brush shredded the thickened epoxy. It ploughs up the surface so much a mechanical bond is a certainty. I have a boat and fairly soon I will try this on some sunken gel coat. The new wire brush slashed up the surface. I made a point of not using it n anything else, so no contamination. An old used brush might not work in this manner. At Harbor Freight they are to cheap even a cheapskate like me would not hesitate to buy more. They also work in radiused corners where no sander will reach except a hand job.

[@DhulstDirk]

Great video as always! Suggestion: Wear 3 pairs of nitrile gloves as layers, and then peel away each layer off as they get saturated with epoxy resin. This gives you three glove changes during a fiberglass layup without having to pull new gloves over sweaty hands.

[@SailingBrickHouse-RVLife]

I have been using nitrile gloves but have switched to extra large latex gloves as the acetone, we use for cleaning epoxy from our tools, does not eat the latex but goes right through the nitrile. The extra large are easy to get on and off.

[@randyv686]

great music and fare work :) Excellent craftsmanship

[@davidbradley3074]

Thanks! Great Class!

[@MRKUE]

Thanks for all the info you provide! Love watching your videos because I too have a project concerning an 20' cc Angler, coosa board, fiberglass and replacing the floor. Possibly the transom too! Boy am I going to need your help!

[@kamoboko86]

Great vid. Can’t wait for next week.

[@XtreemeNo1]

I totaly love your work and yt channel. It’s very intresting, and you are very good to explain. Thumbs up 👍

[@maxwellmark]

👍🏼Good episode

[@n95home]

Andy I don't want to rain on your parade regarding the nobble of raised hardened glass that you need to flat off with the belt sander. You say no one will know if you have to do a small 1708 repair, WRONG We all saw you do it 😂😂😂😂 Don't worry we won't tell 👍👍👍

[@davidbrown9186]

As always very informative and entertaining.

[@pezpengy9308]

Masterclass! :)

[@shixson957]

Appreciate the instruction Man Great video!

[@eliestvanik301]

great video and great explanation on the rollers cant wait to see the boat finished

[@neiltreadgold5720]

Don't blow into gloves there is moisture in your breath and it doesn't dry your sweaty hands, just double glove. When the outside one gets unusable, take it off and a new glove will slide right on. Use this method all the time when wet laying.

[@CobrasArt]

Great as usual and informative cheers Andy

[@miguelbruguera2603]

The best! thank you for showing us.

[@caddiman9834]

Love ur vids. Wish i can work on my boat like u. Unfortunately my boat is in a storage lot and im not allowed to do any work on premisses. Plus fall is here and i dont have any room on my property. Keep up the good work brother.🤙🏼

[@Spectre8282]

Rooking Good!

[@2-4outdooradventure53]

As always...great video!

[@marceld6061]

The fact that the small rollers hold less resin is a good thing- less waste! Those large rollers can hold a LOT of material that doesn't end up on the project but in the garbage can. IIRC resin is a lot more expensive than a replacement roller? When I am working with gloves, I put on 2-3 pairs when I start. That way, I can peel one off and have a fresh one all ready to go. No worry about sweaty hands!

[@SailingBrickHouse-RVLife]

Marcel, do you use nitrile or latex. We were going through a ton of nitrile as the acetone we used for cleaning tools between batches of fairing compound, would instantly eat up the nitrile. Acetone does not seem to bother the latex so now we use far fewer gloves. The extra large size are easy to get on and off.

[@jamestackett2450]

And love the videos keep them coming

[@sail4life]

Epoxy, fiberglass "I think I'm just going to roll with it" Yep, pretty much sums it up ;-)

[@br5498]

Andy, checking out your store I'm in need of a zip up hoodie if ya do it we'll buy it... 🤗

[@boatworkstoday]

Hi Tony! I'll see what I can put together today :-) What colors would you be interested in?

[@jackonsville]

Really enjoyed watching this video. I have recently been using 1708 (at least the UK equivalent which is 450/225) on a bulkhead but wetted it out first before placing it in position. But seeing you do the locker surround I think, in future I will put it up dry. Also got some of those mohair rollers and found them to be a good size for me. I am curious why at 7m17s you cut the cloth?

[@SailingBrickHouse-RVLife]

Hi Andy, I can appreciate how much time it takes you to do the work, set the cameras then the hours of editing. I hate to add more time to your day….. but….TotalBoat, West Systems, Gurit….none of their manuals address my question; maybe you have an answer. It appears one does not have to be concerned about amine blush when using ready mix, two to one, fairing epoxy. However, it does appear there will be amine blush when mixing epoxy resin, then adding filler, whether Cabosil, microballoons or whatever. Why would the ready mix, 2 part epoxy fairing not create amine blush? No one mentions the need to wash away amine blush with the ready mix. Am I missing something? My 40 foot sailboat is hauled out in S. Africa and I am doing an extensive, resin blister, not osmotic, repair. Your videos have been a great help dealing with the blisters and other serious repairs on this 1976 built sailboat. Thanks for all your video work, and hopefully, your answer.

[@garysouza2277]

It's cheaper and easier to get friends with boats, than to get a boat.... ;-)

[@rodneybrowning8358]

and the guy with the boat always had friends until he asks for people to anti up money for gas. lol

[@tbaconiii]

What will the final finish be? Paint? I notice that you use epoxy quite a lot. On my boat every finished surface is gelcoat so I feel that when I am doing a repair I must always use polyester in order to apply gelcoat finish. My repairs are generally but not always minor and do not need much structural strength.

[@fg146]

Hey, for a video idea maybe you could compare and contrast different transom repair materials. There are pourables like CarbonBond or Seacast and then, of course, plywood and synthetic board like Coosa board. I have a selfish reason for this request lol.

[@_noname617]

tip to get "sweaty hands" into new gloves: blow in the glove as your hand slides in ;)

[@fishingismydrug1]

Did you need 6 layers of 1708 for strength? Or was it needed to make it "flush"?

[@douglasthompson2740]

Curious as to whether you can use polyester resin with thickener or if it would weaken a buildup? My be handy when doing a complete polyester schedule. I know it will harden fine but am wondering as straight resin is weak whether it will be a weak spot? good video. Take care. Doug

[@TealcJack]

So 1708 even though it has chopped strand mat back can be used with epoxy?

[@carpetcleaningprofessor]

This might be a dumb question 😂 but I'm not always the brightest. I know the lockers not supposed to be structural but will it not add some more structural stability? Just curious

[@khaitieu9291]

Hi sir ! I really like your work , you perfect every single Conner and detail everything . I have a SEA CAT SL5C I love to bring my boat to you for you to work on my boat I can pay you

[@davidcoleman4800]

I would love it if you could give music credits as well in your episodes. In addition to how much I'm learning, I LOVE the music but Shazam just can't cut it in tracking them down.

[@davidyork665]

I am looking to add 10ft to my boat that is 28ft now. I am going to convert it into a center console so I am going to build a new transom. My question is it possible to do this ?

[@fisheater844]

Andy what mask do you recommend using when grinding epoxy?

[@jmartyg]

What battery tool are you using to zip through the glass?

[@jackrabbit5047]

The problem with those small foam rollers is that they disintegrate very quickly, especially on rough raw wood or fiberglassed surfaces, leaving little bits embedded in the finish.

[@boatworkstoday]

Agreed on the foam rollers, these ones are a short mohair roller that hold up very well to everything I've tried them on ;-)

[@WreckDiver99]

WOW...I don't remember you mentioning you've had this old boat for that long. I know you've had some other things going on, but any updates on the project sailboat, or did you decide it was a lost cause? It was in horrible shape, but you thought there was hope. Yep, you gotta get back on the water. We are currently boatless as our schedule no longer allowed us the luxury of using one, so we sold our Wellcraft St. Tropez two years ago. Good thing about boats, if we want one, we can find one pretty fast around here (Michigan in the Lake Huron area).

[@boatworkstoday]

lost cause...

[@WreckDiver99]

[@jamestackett2450]

Andy is there such a thing as clear gel coat if so could you please tell me what It's called and where I can get some any help would be greatly appreciated

[@boatworkstoday]

what you're looking for is a neutral gelcoat. some are more clear than others so I'd do a search for clear gelcoat. This is typically used overtop of metal flake bases like what's seen on a lot of Bass boats..

[@jamestackett2450]

Thanks a lot that’s actually what I was looking for the old bass boat deck needs the shine brought back

[@opawel1]

Thank you for another great video! As regards the rollers: in Poland we have those "cigar" shaped rollers in different sizes and thicknesses: in the link below you can see some examples (the site is in Polish, so focus on pictures ;)): www.castorama.pl/produkty/wykonczenie/malowanie/narzedzia-malarskie/walki/wklady-do-walkow.html Personally I haven't seen the other type of rollers here yet.
