Secrets of Fiberglassing a wooden Canoe using Epoxy

[@orourkmw]

What happens if, say 6-8-10 hours elapses between coats? (e.g., overnight?) Will it eventually delaminate or what problem is created? Otherwise it seems you have to wait to sand until everything is cured and rely on a mechanical bond?

[@robertbolding4182]

The extra fiberglass and resin overhang provides the weight needed to keep the cloth against the wood

[@jeremyouellette4776]

did you use the 206 for the wet out and the 207 for the following coats?

If using 2 layers of 6oz cloth , when do you recommend applying the second ? Cloth , cloth resin ? Cloth resin cloth ?

[@rayplex]

Apply both layers at the same time. Suggest offsetting the layers for an even finish. Ray

If the epoxy is set you won't be squeegeeing it.

The window is too variable different formulations different temperatures.apply the next cote when the epoxy is sticky like tape not sticky like pancake syrup.
