Your glass looks great! It looks so close now, but I remember how long sanding took me. If you are going to paint you might not need to be so particular. I don’t miss the dust!

Hi Rob. Actually, if you varnish it, the wood grain will "hide" imperfections better than a glossy paint.

You can construct a sharp edge for the transom out of thickened epoxy on the outside of the glass (use really thick epoxy with a putty knife, then sand it to a knife edge when fully cured).

Hey Teo, Tuhinga here. I put a length of masking tape along any pieces of cloth before I cut it to stop fraying. Works a treat. 😉

That's a good tip! Wont it pull the threads when you want to remove it?

When you use it you leave the tape on and cut it off after it has started to cure. Stops all that nasty fraying that never lays out anyway. Does that make sense?

Looks realy nice😃. Now I dont remember if the bottom already had epoxy, and was then sanded down (dont think so) ?.. In other videos I have seen some recommend soaking the plywood in epoxy 3 times before placing the glasfiber.. Reason being, that "dry" ply will soak the epoxy out of the glas before it cures..But it seems not to be the case here. It looks perfect. Thanks for sharing..
@TheBoatRambler7 ай бұрын
Hi, the bottom was not coated first, that's why it soaked 900g of epoxy on the first coat! But as long has you wait till it gets tacky it will give it time to absorb all the epoxy needed. After all it's only 1mm plywood layer before it reaches the first glue in the plywood. After that, the second coat will fill the weave nicely.

You should! Epoxy is a gamechanger in boat building. You mix, apply, wait 6 hours and the joint is stronger than wood itself. Glass I don't like much but it is really useful too.
