Stitch and Glue Boat Building: Gluing the inside of the joint on a plywood epoxy boat.

Stitch and glue boat building is a fun, fast way to build plywood boats in this video we'll walk you through the process of how to glue and tape the inside of the joint between 2 panels.
Materials used:
Quick Kick 5 in 50ml cartridge and mixing tips.
West 105 Resin
West 207 Special Clear Hardener
West 405 Filleting Blend filler to make putty with
4" 12oz Double Bias (Biax) Fiberglass
Nyply Peel Ply
Supplies & Tools
Goof Proof Gun for Quick Kick 5
Bubble Roller
Mixing Buckets
Mixing Sticks
Chip Brush
4" and 5" plastic squeegees
Nitrile Gloves
Plastic Bag or Cake Decorating Bag
Shears or Scissors
Utility Knife
Basic Steps:
Assumes boat is already stitched together:
1. Tack Weld between stitches with 5 minute epoxy (gel superglue or CA glue, West 610, System Three Gelmagic, or filleting putty are alternatives)
2. Pull stitches once tack welds have set.
3. Mix putty and squeeze into joint and fillet or cove using shaped squeegee.
4. Wet out fiberglass tape and place over joint, use bubble roller to get out air and smooth out joint.
5. Optional, place peel ply over joint and use bubble roller to work into wet joint, add epoxy as needed to fill seam areas and any dry spots.

You are the teacher I have been looking for ♡♡♡
Awesome
🤜🏻👍🤛🏻

At 4 minutes the white zip ties magically became black zip ties. Ah... the magic of video editing.

[@Cdubu-nn2oc]

Thanks for explaining in detail

[@bubbahottep8644]

I wish this was as easy as you make it look.

[@johnrogers3909]

great informative video. thank you!

[@labtrainer09]

EXCELLENT in every respect. A great visual complement to Sam Devlin's book on stitch-and-glue construction.

[@FiberglassSupply]

Thanks, his book is a great resource and highly recommended for stitch and glue boat building.

[@geoffsmith2182]

u didnt wet the wood before applying the goo. You should have brushed resin into the seam before adding filler to the resin. If that is thirsty wood it will drain the resin out of the goo.

Thanks for the vid. I love the look you gave the gopro when it decided to do its own thing. It's the same look I give mine!

[@FiberglassSupply]

I have a love hate relationship with my GoPros.... They are great except when they are not... Just filmed a whole foilboard build progression to find out about half the videos the video froze part way through.... but thanks for the comment made me chuckle!

[@simonac688.]

Great tutorial thank you 👍

[@FiberglassSupply]

Thanks for the feedback, you’re welcome.

[@catherinesecula5287]

great Infos , simple and easy, just personally I do pour the epoxy over the filler ( like when making a cake with floor and adding milk ,etc over) so I have more control over the filler past result and I wast less epoxy and filler, always time to add more of both .. I used Peel ply for years, like the one with red strip on it ( more expensive ) but better idea when you put it where he goes and the proper result ..i am in Australia ..cheers

[@pakde8002]

Great tutorial with a tip I never seen on the peel off. I don't have a problem glueing a joint but when working with a couple of guys the problem I've often encountered is passing the joint. Especially guys who don't use ventilation when mixing up epoxy.

[@Theuniverseisstrange]

Lol good stuff

[@warjacare]

There are many epoxy brands around . West is one of the most expensive. But has the best marketing...

[@bipedalhominid6815]

West is a scam

[@Corsarium]

muito bom. ;)

[@greatsheng]

Thanks.

Hi - this is very descriptive. Can you please do a longer video with a piece that has a dummy bulkhead in place to understand how to do this on a complex shape ?

[@FiberglassSupply]

Yes we have one planned where we’ll go over our typical strategy for doing intersecting joints.

[@crtl9697]

Fiberglass Supply hi - I have referred to this video a couple of times already ! I have a couple of sections that are too long especially at the bulkheads. Is there any disadvantage of doing this in sections ? If yes should there be an overlap ?

[@AlyDiode]

@@FiberglassSupply Did you ever do this video? Those intersections are tricky!

[@himahin3697]

How to Buy It's

[@josephlai9759]

I think you mentioned tack weld inbetween the ties first. But that you have not done. Look like you straight away fillet over the ties.???

[@BrianRhodes9763]

Okay, so I have a question. How do you do a splice joint, what I mean is splice the forward part to the aft part of a side?

[@robmcmurtry2988]

Sounds like you're describing a scarf to make longer boards/sheets, quite a different operation. Whole other videos/articles on different scarfing methods. Router sleds, planing, belt sanders, table saw jigs for boards, etc.

[@othername1000]

no links on the video or the about section for the channel? still in business?

Let me get a t shirt...

[@cinderswolfhound6874]

Im not sure ilike thar 5 minit epoxy it changes the wood and color of cableties too much

[@lawrencefranck9417]

And the wood grain😂

[@Orlosthedruid]

anyone else notice that the color of the zip ties changed in between the transition?
FAKE ?!

[@FiberglassSupply]

Good catch. We shot that a long time ago but if I recall correctly when we did the edit we didn't have footage of tacking with the 5 minute epoxy so we had to go back and shoot it with different panels.

[@gschady]

hey .. put that peel ply on your arm hair ..
let it dry then pull it off real fast .. make that video please VIRAL VIRAL VIRAL
