hey buddy i hate to see a guy work hard , when a couple small tips might really help ,, ok heres a great one that helps things look tiddy and neet ,,, ok all things that are to be covered in fiber glass should have rounded edges ,, it helps stop air pockets , and bond to the greater surface area ,, inside 90 degree are ok ,, but any out facing edge should be rounded ,,, the other great tip is to use mylar or thin hard plastic sheet you can put between you the the uncured fiber glass ,, you can see where you need to roll it and get air out from under it ,,, it works great and the glass sets up under it just fine ,,, hope these help buddy have a good day

I like to apply a coat or two of gel coat directly over the glass after lay up. It will act as a guide coat exposing the highs and lows after sanding. Using release fabric is a good trick too. Lay up your glass and carefully apply release fabric over the area as soon as you finish lay up. Smooth out with a fiberglass roller or plastic spread. Once cured release fabric peels right off leaving a smooth surface.

Plus it works as a primer coat so you don't get the pin holes in your final coat. Use fairing compound over that after you sand it down and then finish gelcoat.

Nice project and well done. I developed a sensitivity to polyester after many years of boat work. No more for me. Now it's all epoxy, which I like a lot more as it cleans up with alcohol, and is easier on the skin and lungs. My Mom had a business making Xmas ornaments out of polyester resin. Late in life she developed COPD. I just walked away at the first signs of sensitivity, and have never looked back :)

If you do that much in the future, try mixing it on a hawk and applying with a trowel instead of a knife and see if you like that better, especially on the back of the transom. I think it might be faster and more controllable for you. Just a thought... Something to try...

The secret with fillers on boats is the presence or lack of talc. Any of the plastic fillers are semi adequate for fairing fiberglass but if they have talc in them they will attract moisture. I have always used 3M premium filler which of course has no talc and is recommended for use above and below the water line. There ore others and this is one of the most expensive fillers out there but also one of the finest. Most fillers are polyester based which is the main ingredient in most fiberglass lay-ups. I can hear the screaming already but epoxy has no place in polyester repairs, it's too stiff and too expensive. I have used hundreds of gallons of talc-free polyester filler over the past 40 years and am proud to say that I have NEVER had a failure of any kind related to the product itself.

Hey, love your channel. Have a question. Will the bondo be prone to cracking or crazing from the impacts a boat receives with normal use?
@thomasharder95824 жыл бұрын
It would be far easier to handle bondo if you used the larger sized rectangular taping pan (3" x 15" x 3" deep). I used to do taping in very high valued homes. Just an FYI, I'd have filled one pan and worked from left to right then right to left starting from the top. I would use two taping benches (you can set the heights perfectly for you) that allow you to easily move all the way across and up or down. Then, I would use an entirely different 12 inch knife. They're actually carried at inexpensive home stores. Maybe $15 bucks or so. The handle is attached to an "L" bracket and the knife edge is 12" x 3" and they are stiff. It allows room for your knuckles so you can flatten the knife more on your final smoothing passes. Depending on how thick you wanted it, based on watching this video, one pan would do maybe 2-2 1/2 passes, then you'd have to make more. Better yet, having a helper mixing bondo would allow you to keep working. Not to make fun, but someone who knows how to use a knife would take roughly 10-20 minutes to completely cover and smooth the outer transom (with a mixing helper). Plus, it would be dead smooth and almost perfectly flat. Believe it, or not, those inside corners on the inside of the boat would take longer to get dead smooth and perfectly square and flat. I'd use a good quality 6" knife (sorry but not what you were using) from Hyde or Wallboard. I guess what I'm saying, it's the knife you're using that's slowing you down and making it more difficult. Oh, every time you load the knife you'd clip some off the bottom edges of the knife so the mud/bondo would not easily slide out around the knife falling to the ground. Pressure must be very hard. I'm only writing this just in case you have any future similar jobs. Based on the quality of your work, you might hear from a lot of people looking to hire you. Really, a fantastic job! I do have a question though, why didn't you wrap at least a couple of layers of fiberglass around the corners on to the mating surface? (You'd have to grind down the mating edge to receive it.)

@@tomharrell1954 after years of customizing trucks, speaker boxes, bagged and juiced trucks, I can tell ya don't follow the dang directions. Fiberglass and fiberglass resin is designed to be strong and un pliable. Bon do is mean to do something similar but you wind up sanding 90% of it back off🤔 after lots of experimenting mixing bon do and just resin until you get the consistency desires then add the hardener, you can actually spread it out on wax paper and make it 1/8 inch thick, let it setup, peel it off and you will be able to bend it around and touch itself without it snapping, which would happen if it was one of the other. I think the bon do kind of works like the dust, but doesn't react like the dust. But for things that must have some give or flex, this WILL work, and can be added to an already fiberglass project.

What’s the difference with waxed and non waxed gel coat I have a skiff that’s primed and I want to sand it smoothly out the fiberglass and then gel coat

Non waxed is usually like a laminating layer that you are going to be applying another layer on top of immediately after you lay that layer. You use the waxed layer as the last layer and that seals the gel coat and lets it cure properly. If you are laying multiple layers, you can't layer over a waxed layer becuase they won't bond properly.

I love your videos, but you should be using nitrile gloves when working with acetone. Keep the vids coming! Stay healthy my friend....
