Thank you Rick. I can’t wait!
Forgot to mention that so far I have not cut any new glass off the roll.
I have been using the pieces left over from the 6 floor halves. Some of those sections are over 20” wide and they are all 17’ long. I never thought I  would run out of 1708 but the pilot house is probably going to clean me out of a roll of 130 yards.




Second full layer is in the books. One more layer left. I’ve been thinking of reinforcement core strips out of plywood but with so many bends and angles I don’t know if I’m going to need any.
1708 is such a great fabric to work with. There is something satisfying about pressing the dry piece into place and working it to take the exact shape. You can wet a single layer with a roller but two layers or an overlap doesn’t soak as well so I press all the pieces in place then remove the sections creating an overlap. I then roll resin onto the CSM side before putting the piece back down. It still holds most of the shape of the dry fit. Great stuff

20 foot 6 Proline project boat available for free.  No trailer but could probably deliver in the Tampa Bay Area. 

Great news on the gelcoat curing Duffy! One thing i will say is to make sure you get all of the uncured gel off. I have paid hell trying to get what seemed like the last layer on my 81'. It attracts dirt like nothing else of course. However, it seems as though it had something to do with the duratec High Gloss additive that I used for it thin out lay down flatter when sprayed. It did come out nice but i think i did something wrong where the last layer needed a good wipe with acetone to get it tack free.

Looks great.  The itch is old.
