RC Boat Build (Part 2: Hull Construction)

Stitching the hull together and adding epoxy, bondo and primer.

[@jaseys]

So glad I found your video!!! Boat looks great, I have always had trouble working with Bondo but thought this is what it is capable of. Thanks to the comments section for helping with the proper mix, can’t wait to try it again

[@trh8201]

I'm really impressed by this man, nice work.

[@paulgains4516]

Having been in the boat building game for to many years, I think you have done a good job, as you said its not what I would have done but for someone who hasn't done this type work before you did good. What you can do with it now is use it as a plug and make a mould from it then you can make and sell as many boats as you like.

[@suepearson1455]

Lookin real good! enjoying this video1 Thanks!

[@AbsorberofLight]

+Sue Pearson Thank you:)

[@lennoncoimbra4856]

Yeah!! Very good project!!

[@ymanganelli]

Great Job!!!

[@dockmasterted]

as you do this my friend it looks like it would make for a great PT BOAT HULL.

[@omniversling]

A tip on the bondo: about a golfball of bondo to a pea of hardener is usually a pretty good mix....and if you do it on a flat surface like a piece of MDF or glass, you can mix and get to it more easily with the spatula, and scrape it clean. A wider spatula cut out of the side of plastic icecream tub works pretty well, and the flange at the lid end is easy to hold...it's a bit stiffer too.

[@brunocauas7453]

Need to make a vacuform so you can mold more of these out of lexan.

[@BartSimpson-eq6ue]

what two things do you mix to get that brown paste?

[@garyhall867]

That Plastic board you used will weld using a 40 watt soldering iron with a clean tip give it a Try. I used it for the back of Station wagons for ropes tools ETC.

[@smartracingautocraft5583]

what kind of primer is that? look like a fine putty to me..anyway nice build sir!

[@AbsorberofLight]

Body filler called Bondo. It's used to repair car bodies.

[@CherylFatta]

Can you attach a template of the boat to this video please🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻!!!!

[@chanoestevez5690]

[@T2sEpicTravel]

Why not glue gun ?

[@sayandeepdey8385]

Sir what's that compound you used for smoothing the surface..?

[@AbsorberofLight]

+Sayandeep Dey It's called "bondo", it's used as body filler for cars.

[@sayandeepdey8385]

+Absorber Of Light Bondo is not available in my locality can I use " roberlo resinplast fiberglass putty" instead..?

[@sayandeepdey8385]

+Absorber Of Light " roberlo resinplast fiberglass putty " is also a automotive body filler.

[@AbsorberofLight]

Sayandeep Dey I'm sure that would work.

[@sayandeepdey8385]

+Absorber Of Light Thank you for your support..👍👍

[@NuzhathSamreenOfficial]

what is the name of solution you applied on it

[@AbsorberofLight]

two-part epoxy resin.

[@RanchRodCustoms]

Does your wife know you used her plastic bowls lol?! mine is always mad at me for using hers lol

[@AbsorberofLight]

+Joe Crofts HAHA! Fortunately this is my buddy's house and he's single.

[@watahyahknow]

think you used way too mush hardener , its a golfbal size blob of bondo and a peadsize blob of hardener

[@AbsorberofLight]

+watahyahknow totally agree.

[@georgegonzalez9281]

wouldn't using hot glue instead of a needle and thread be easier?

[@AbsorberofLight]

Sure, that would probably work just as well as long as the hot glue is not exposed to direct sunlight.

[@adnaankhan3185]

can u draw diagram of that boat???

[@chunchen5978]

Adnaan Khan

[@chunchen5978]

Adnaan Khan wooo

[@lolsflint7598]

if the thread can easily break the plastic, then the material isn't that good...

[@luciangardea1792]

hello very nice work but it would be helpful if you could add a file with cardboard Templates thank you very much

[@CherylFatta]

Yes

[@mikamichele6264]

I

[@jafarsidik180]

[@chunchen5978]

Hi bro

[@chunchen5978]

[@chunchen5978]

What's up man I was just wondering how much you can save money on their own terms and Tommy Lee Jones is that it will not work

[@willorangejuice9410]

Same I'm building it as I speak

[@Aussiem8e]

Obviously never worked with bondo before, way too much hardener

[@tomcook5813]

Too much hardener sir

[@erickeller7296]

I can see why the Indians hollowed out trees to make their boats..... so much easier!

[@harshlakhara199]

Eric Keller we indians can always find a way to make things happen as there is a little story...Once there was a soap making company but then problem occurred that sometimes the packet goes empty because of packaging problem so company solved this problem by putting huge x ray detection machine by putting thousands of dollar when the same problem happened in an indian company they just simply put a table fan so the empty packet will be flew away and saved thousands of rupees 😂😂😂 #SorryForBadEnglish
