Thanks for the demo, I have a Sabot Wooden Dinghy I'm restoring this is perfect for guiding us.
Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge, great job with the speed of application from the initial filler to the thickened top coat.
this channel deserve more subsriber
Thanks so much for the very detailed breakdown. Other videos in this series are terrific. What are a few tips you would recommend if I would like to apply two layers of cloth in one go ? Is that recommended ? Thanks -
I'm here now I watching from philippines love and support
Im an old drywall man,that ought to come in handy.
When you say, "We put a 1/4" radius on the edges", How did you do that, by sanding?

Hello, I am thinking to have a small sauna in the after cabin of my glass fiber sailboat? May this project go well if I investering in a proper isolation? Or is that just an insane idea?
Did you let the epoxy get tacky before laying the glass? Or did you roll on the epoxy and then immediately fit the glass to it?
Nice info, thx for sharing
Sir may i know, if what materials you used for fiber glass boat?
hello ... I really like this type of boat ... could you share the plans and measurements? Thank you very much in advance
De todos los videos que he visto sobre como construir tu propio bote, este es el mejor. Podrías darme las medidas de la nave por favor y gracias.
Sir may i know if what is kind of fiber matt do used for fiber the boat?
What kind of epoxy resin do you recommend for boat making?
Where do you get the cloth fiver glas
Very very nice , how many layers of gelcoat should be used and how many layers of fiberglass should be used to achieve the right thicknessy ?. And what should be the sufficient thickness of the body for this boat or for an even bigger boat? ..
I have a boat I need to repair. Thanks for the tips💯
wow i will make this boat for my fishing my friend
I know this video is over 3year but still hope you can reply and give me some help...how long do I have until the epoxy resin catalysis begins and would be too late to correct the fiber glass adjustments...I keep worrying that my t iime frame is short and so my boat building is on standby...I have the whole body done and ready for fiber glassing but unless I know the actual time limit, I fear to finish it. Nice video but the elapsed time is so hard to judge...hope to hear from you.
What kind of mat you use sir please give me idea.thanks
Great video sir but I had a job hearing you right because of the acoustics.
I make professional films, if you throw some foam or old drapes etc around your garage or hang some from the roof it will deaden the echo - hope this helps.
Your video has helped me glass my sea cruiser!
Thanks for the tip. Awesome, glad our video was helpful!!!
Glad we were able to help and thanks for the advice on the audio. We are familiar with boat building, but still learning how to make videos.
Did you do the epoxy / fibreglass on both sides of the boat,in and out?
hello, very good job !! Where can I get the plans?
Waaaw amazingg
You don’t have to roll the bubbles ? With a roller
Ojala subieras un video asiendo el mismo bote de completo
good job
Nice place but did you get out of there by yourselves or phoned the bombeiros to come and look for you ?
Good job bro 👍👍👍👍👍🇱🇰

Want to build one of your boats but don’t like the wood idea would the same processes apply if I switch out the wood for composite board?
At this time, we don't have any plans for composite. But to answer your question, yes you could use the same concept. However, you may have some challenges keeping the composite core from deflecting while you build because it is more flexible.
Concour on laying glass first. Also I use low visc epoxy and slow hardener. Something of that size takes two people wetting out and one person making up small batches as you need them. Temperature effects how well and fast the glass absorbs and I generally try for low 70's. . Too warm and the epoxy sets up to fast and to low and it's difficult for the glass to absorb in a timely matter. Your under the clock glassing and you have to keep moving.
Also after it's absorbed you want to remove the excess with a scraper (called a bondo scaper) otherwise you can get runs. Also use a heat gun to release trapped air bubbles.
There's a lot more to it then your video.
А если надо на днище положить 2 слоя ткани, как тогда быть?
excellent video thanks! roughly how much weight does the fibreglass add to the hull?
The weight added varies by cloth weight, this completed hull weighs 100lbs. That includes all wood, epoxy, and flotation foam.
Gostaria de obter este projeto como faço?
Where are you situated
Chop strand or 1708?
how many layers of fiber for making this boat ... please inform me thank you
Typically you only need one layer of fiber glass. He also did one layer on the inside. The seams of the wood like the keel and where the sides meet could get two layers of 3-4" wide fiber glass tape if you wanted to go over kill.
what kind of epoxy resin can be bought in such large quantities? ...
it seems like in my country there are no epoxy resin sellers in large packages.
Can you tell me, the brand and series of epoxy resin products? ...
Where are you from? I also noticed that epoxy resin in bigger quantities specially marine epoxy is not so available in the Philippines. Polyester resin though are more available.
go on the "west systems" website. I bet they can sell you as much epoxy as you can afford. And if you can use cheaper stuff "Alibaba" will ship you a container full.
What kind of apoxy (however you spell it) are you using in the video? And would it matter what I use to cover the holes? For ex: wood putty
When boat building, we always recommend a marine grade epoxy. We advise you fill the holes with thickened epoxy.
You can use many brands. Just make sure its EPOXY and not polyester. You will know its EPOXY when its $100 per gallon... ;)
Several brands are West Marine, System 3, or Glen L.
Commonly premix epoxy resin in fiber boat Building in the Philippines is proxy resin better than premix resin?
Does that make the boat a Wood Core boat that often rots from the inside? Or is that more In using Fiberlass resin instead ofthe Epoxy ?
A plywood hull with epoxy is very different than a vinyl-ester or polyester hull with plywood used in it. Marine plywood and epoxy boat building is used by some of the most prestigious custom sport fish builders, and when done correct will outlast and outperform other materials. However, most folks are familiar with rotten transom, decks, or stringers in boats with some age. Over 90% of those boats came from a mold and use an 'ester resin, which is not an adhesive (like epoxy) and thus makes a superficial bond with the wood.The problem is that the glass and wood de-laminate over time as the the hull flexes and moves, hairlines cracks in the glass are created and let water in. Coincidentally, these cost cutting manufacturers often use non marine grade plywood and drill holes and screw things into the wood without sealing the exposed wood. This is a recipe for disaster, but they built and sold the boat as cheap as possible... I have no respect for that.
How to remove from the pattern
Where is part one and two please.
The videos are not organized
Where can i get a set of plans for the boat your working on?
Plans are available on our website, www.saltboatworks.com
Audio very difficult to make out. Need remote mike.
What weight glass did you use?
10 oz for this boat. This information is detailed in the plans for each boat.
About how much can one expect to spend building a boat like this one, start to finish?
You can build this boat for $1000 and in 50 hours. More info and plans for sale on our website. www.saltboatworks.com
Don't worry about imperfections. I found a finishing bondo at NAPA that will fix before your final final final final sanding and gelcoating.
Be EXTREMELY careful with non marine products. Some products have incompatible curing agents or solvents or will fail if exposed to water. In our experience bondo is one of the products that does not hold up well over time. We recommend using a marine fairing putty or marine glazing putty.
@@saltboatworks1139 thanks
sanding gel
used in mold work
or tooling gel
Hi! Is it true that you can also use nylon fabric instead of fiberglass? It costs a lot...
No, our designs are calculated specifically for the use of fiberglass and epoxy resin.
what type glue you use to add fiberglass on the boat
Use only epoxy.
So when I go to home depot what do I ask for?
You do not purchase these supplies at a home improvement store. Our website has info on suppliers for epoxy resin, glass, marine plywood, etc.
Up..nice..
Please - At 2:36 - WHY do you apply epoxy to the entire outside surface of the boat before you fiberglass the outside surface of the boat?
I am not sure, but I think it is so that the fiberglass will stick to the wood. Essentially, the epoxy is gluing the fiberglass onto the wood. The epoxy was still wet when the fiberglass cloth was laid on top. If you let the epoxy dry before putting the fiberglass on, then I don't think that the epoxy would do much.
May know the materials and chemicals needed?
You’ll need woven fiberglass cloth and epoxy.
Good day, can i know what kind resin u use and the math?
We use marine grade epoxy resin, mix ratio varies by brand.
If i put epoxy, its good for Floating longtime? Or yearly?
@@SEAMAN-nanagat. The epoxy will last the life of the boat if the boat is properly cared for.
Ahmmm ok thank you so much
Hi Im Israfil from Bangladesh.
Nice .but what you do mix for glue please say that details.
make the glue product name, please please please.......................
Use epoxy like West System epoxy.
When you say "epoxy" are you talking about the fibre glass resin?
Yes, epoxy is a type of fibre glass resin
@john centanni you can use any kind of epoxy in my experience. Go to your local home depo and pick up a can
Can I have your email id
Sorry, I missed your question. Yes, epoxy is the type of resin. Many brands and vendors are available. However, not all epoxies are the same. Be sure it is formulated for use in wood joinery and marine applications.
@The Mystic Ruler The epoxy later in the video has an additive mixed in known as "fairing filler". It makes it easier to sand prior to applying primer.
отлично плучилось ! чисто и аккуратно , где взять такие чертежи ?
Fairing filler?
Was it cabosil?
NO! You would never be able to sand that. Use West System Microlight.
👍👍

You need to need to learn how to laminate. Watch a surfboard laminator, they laminate many boards a day professionally. There are many ways to 'skin a cat' but this way, the way you have applied the cloth is just made the job more difficult. You should run the width of the roll down one side of the bottom of the hull lapping the centreline and over the chine by at least 2 or 3 inches or more depending on the width of your cloth and the bottom half of your dingy. Repeat for the other side. Last, do the sides letting the cloth overhand the chine again. This way you have double over both your chines and keel line. If you think it's necessary to coat the ply wood first, themn let it set and then lay your cloth down and wet out over it with a roller or squeegy or with just a squeegy. You don't have to take the cloth off and make a difficulty of placing it back on. In life, we are always learning.
Polyester resin will not adhere to the epoxy you used to fill the tie holes and gaps between panels.
no it will not he should have used poly filla
or a brush on areosell gel coat mix
@@jasonstrong9974 Polyfilla is not waterproof and is not a good choice for boats.
@@FixNewsPlease i was a fiberglass tec and it is used all the time . fiberglass is also not waterproof and will soak up water and become very heavy.polyfila used in fiberglas is made for it and is green in color its not the crap used on cars
He did not use polyester resin, only epoxy.
👍👍👍💪💪💪
Sorry there has not been a satisfying and educational video
For a perfect video you must start from scratch.Shure so too many more
I am sure you will get much more likes.Greetings from turkey
I want to work
I have 10 years experience in fiber work
Why only one layer of glass? There is no way that would be strong or safe enough. Should have been at least three layers, otherwise that ply will get wet and the whole thing will be useless.
The main structural support is in the wood hull, the glass is to seal the wood and provide abrasion resistance. There are countless boats built with this method and no issues for many years. The use of epoxy resin which saturates the wood (unlike poly or vinyl ester) marine grade plywood make a very strong, safe and reliable hull.
West System has documented boats built with one layer of cloth and epoxy that are over 30 years old and still in excellent shape.
Hellow
It will be like sanding a car tire Epoxy BLOWS!!!
Adding fairing filler such as micro-baloons as we show makes epoxy MUCH easier to sand.
@@saltboatworks1139 Takes forever to cure and cost 3 times as polyester resin NFG!
@@arthurtaddei1285 the 'ester resins do not bond to plywood well at all, they have minimal adhesive qualities. They will delaminate, period. Cure time varies with hardener, temperature and application. You get what you pay for...
@@saltboatworks1139 Used polyester all my life and never a problem unless going over epoxy . Been in fiberglass repair and outboard business 35 yrs and was taught the correct way .Epoxy Sucks
@@arthurtaddei1285 life treating you well at the moment is it Arthur? Stay off the hard stuff hey.
not completed video sorry
Is the white shit fibre mat?
Nice video just this fuck up music
l lasted 23 seconds....horrible audio, no excuse.
Epoxy would work excellent on an outhouse floor , it would be best suited for it. lol junk
Epoxy SUCKS!!!
