Big thanks to DeltaTrainer for setting me up with their app and supporting the channel! Here’s the site if you want to check them out: bit.ly/train_like_xyla What kind of boat should I build next??
@@xylafoxlin A fully polished subsonex would be your cheapest and fastest option toward that goal. I mean, it's not transparent but it would kinda look like it in the air. Clear fiberglass thick enough to be structurally sound for light aircraft use wouldn't be remotely transparent, barely translucent if you're lucky, and then you have to go through the minor hassle of designing and building a jet from scratch.
Just a tiny tip, a dusting of 3m spray adhesive can hold your fiberglass cloth in place in places like around the opening. It can save LOTS of frustration with challenging shapes.
This is so freaking cool! I think the frosting actually works really well because it distributes the light from the LEDs so nicely. Would be interesting to know how sturdy it turned out to be and if you think this would hold up with regular use
True, the frosting manage to diffuse the light better rather than a crystal clear would, it acted as a diffuser which actually made the led lights look a lot cooler.
@@Braven9975 Indeed and you kind of do generally want a diffuser with LED lighting for this sort of application as it gives a more ambient lighting effect than the bare chips produce. Well I guess this is subjective but I do find the bare chips to produce a light that is unpleasantly harsh for ambient lighting effects the effect is usually more pleasant with diffuser or indirect lighting on a matte surface.
Just gonna say...the most intricate and detailed tutorials on soldering don't mention what could be the most helpful tip ever. Thank you...that literally saved me hours.
The degree of success you achieved with that finished product is amazing. It totally looks like something that a company with a decent R&D lab designed and had professionally manufactured. For being a project with a bunch of external stress factors, I think it turned out way better than anticipated. Next project could be stepping up the challenge level by vacuum forming a polycarbonate kayak using heat and vacuum bagging. Not sure how you'll sort out getting a 9ft long heating source, but it would definitely be an awesome challenge.
Not sure if a completely clear material would give a better look; the scattering/diffusion from the fiber gives it that nice filled out glowie look. Make it too clear and I fear that kinda falls apart into 'just a bunch of LED strips'
"I'M SAWGGEY" 😂 This was so cool Xyla!! Huge congrats on the build and final result. Hope you don't burden yourself with another crazy boat soon, but it would also be no surprise if you did hahaha. Happy new year!!
You are good looking, and make engineering videos; that is enough to get me to watch. But, then your enthusiasm and passion for what you are doing comes through your videos and it's infectious. I have watched three of your videos and I am hooked! PS: synthetic fleece will keep you warm even when you are soaked from rain or a hose. Please don't stop making STEAM fun!
Hi Xyla. I'm interested in learning more about fiberglass for a back-burner project of mine and your videos have been really helpful. I'm also a man and was a little surprised and put off by the "mansplaining" quip. I know that TH-cam comments are often a cesspool of criticism and maybe you've gotta keep your guard up, but I find it to be a term of needless divisiveness. I'm just here to learn and to enjoy your explanations of your findings in your work.
@@johnburakowski61 Following a vegan lifestyling isn't the reason for not finding clothes. Maybe she just very slim and have to face the same problem with an omnivor diet. But its a really creative solution for that kind of problem
dude your soldering method blew my mind, i can't believe i never thought to do it like that. that alone was worth the watch of the video, thanks, great project.
Making composite parts is a lot of fun. Sanding and joining parts is a pain. I hope you get to make more projects with fiberglass parts so you can try out vacuum bagging, gel coats, and dissolving an extruded polystyrene buck that is wrapped in cloth & resin (so you don't have to join your hollow parts). It was fun watching the build on Instagram!
That was such a great project. I enjoyed both this build and the cedar strip canoe. I have worked quite a big with fiberglass repairing boats but could never get up the nerve to actually _build_ my own boat, though I've always wanted to. I think I no longer have an excuse not to give it a try.
Cool Kayak! Handy tip for demolding - if you have an air compressor, stick the airgun/nozzle between the part and mold and give it a blast. Depending on shape/size etc. sometimes your part will just gracefully come free without having to do anything else.
As i should be honest and say I have no experience with water crafts, but In my experience with fiberglass I would recommend that you continue to have fun and be yourself. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Good mold prep will take care of 95% of surface problems and demolding issues. Its way more costly to fix things in a patch process than it is to mold it perfect to begin with. Get your molds to a near mirror finish and use make sure everything has been buffed with your demolding compound and no wax left. Demold, Orange peel,fish eyes, alligation etc will mostly be eliminated by good surface prep, and if you are doing this commercially its absolutely needed because fixing it afterwards cost alot.
Every day a wake up and ask, what new thing will i see today? Then i turn to Xylas' channel and see this! I have always made things from nothing. Fabricating is an excellent exercise for the mind. This was a funny and educational video to watch! Thank you xyla!!!
Re: "Use a GPS to feed your speed into the Arduino." Or a small paddle wheel driving a rotary encoder or similar rev counter. Maybe just a magnet on the wheel passing a pickup on the boat, if you don't care about direction of travel. Fewer moving parts, less subject to water damage. That's how some types of boat speedometers work. Maybe use one of those sensors and condition that output signal to match Arduino inputs.
Xyla you are my fave maker right now, love the miriyad of mad and amazing things canoey you do. this is off the hook awesome. take it out some more PLEASE. Your energy and enthusiam is utterly infectious. Keep going, do more, best wishes. Andy. UK
Not sure which addressable LED strips Xyla used, but check out Adafruit # 306, based on LPD8806 chips I think, their corresponding tutorial [learn.adafruit.com/digital-led-strip], and their Arduino IDE library example code. Arduino Nano clones are $3 to $4 on Amazon. The addressable weather resistant LED strips are somewhat more expensive.
You’re a real inspiration! Thanks for giving us this video. I’m a big fan of this channel and have really learned so much from you. I look forward to all of your videos. Keep up the great work and never stop producing great content!

@@xylafoxlin But then I’ll just wind up tangled in a mess of LEDs. I know because I tried to add them to my piano... 😆 but a clear fiberglass LED piano would be even cooler.
Hi Sarah. You don't need engineering school.. Just use TH-cam... I don't do much fibreglassing but each time I tell the fibreglass company what I want to do .. including surface area .. also I tell them I'm not made of money... .. and they send a box with everything I need.. Do buy a good respirator and goggles and wear old clothes etc... A serious point not mentioned on her dress made of carbon fibre and Kevlar.. never use mains powered tools or Sanders with carbon fibre as the carbon gets in the air and motor and can be electrocuted.. use air tools or battery but if use battery tools do outside in a bit of wind or use a fan and cover any holes on power tools with a filter and watch out for over heating... Now I hope I've eliminated the need to go to a school... Have fun... regards Mark.
I love the confidence about thinking of everything I think more people need that it's better then the other TH-camer who play dumb to get people to comment
I've seen people building self-made planes on TV. This is a cruel suggestion. (Building your own small plane out of fiberglass is hell itself and can literally lead to madness.)
Great job! I'm curious how much if any weight difference there is between that one and the original kayak you used as a plug. I imagine the fiberglass was lighter than the rotomolded boat.
The fiberglass version is probably about 75% of the weight of the plastic. Maybe less as it appears to be a rather light layup. That’s ballpark for kayaks that you can buy as plastic, f/g, or carbon/Kevlar (50%).
I really like your energy !! The way you are excited , energetic and determined to create and construct different engeneering projects i really like that ... This is like a dream job for me 😍

Your content and personality is amazing, and this video really shows off your ingenuity. So happy to see people with your talent and creativity blowing up!
You can also make a belt by spinning a length of duct tape, then covering that spin with another layer to cover any exposed adhesive. If you make three lengths and braid them before putting on the outer tape layer, it makes a decent rope that (in my experience) can handle a good 20-30 pounds of weight over a fifteen foot length. If you use 1" wide fiberglass strapping tape instead of duct tape, you can use the resulting braided rope as a swing, until sunlight starts to break down the adhesive.

What kind of boat should I build next??
Next video: "I built a clear yacht!"
16:08 told me to say that's a terrible idea
Pedal boat made from Rowlux Illusion film. www.rowtec.com/rowlux.html
A miniature tall ship. But not like a model tall-ship; a large row-boat sized tall-ship.
Since boats are off the table, the only option is to build an anti-boat. A bathtub.

It absolutely will hold up- many kayaks are exactly this construction.
2 questions
1. How much overlap do you recommend on the seams where you cut your fiberglass?
2. Any updates on how this vessel survived the move?
Just gonna say...the most intricate and detailed tutorials on soldering don't mention what could be the most helpful tip ever.
Thank you...that literally saved me hours.
That was so satisfying when you first took it off the kayak! Is there anything you can't do?? This came out so amazing - loving the lights addition!
Awwww thank you!!
The LEDs make the boat look like it came right out of Rainbow Road from Mariokart!🌈
Super cool! Would love to see more of this thing in action - though i do not envy the nearly 24-hour nonstop fiberglassing process

Going to Cali? Need a team-up with Simone Giertz :)
The final shot of the kayak in the water reminds me of deep sea jellyfish so much. I never knew how much I wanted something like that!
The night effects were awesome , dig your creativity , there must've been fish from every direction just trailing you , so cool .

Just make sure you've got enough beer, then you'll be fine.
Might want to crank that up to 15,000V just in case a little splash gets on your circuitry.

We used to release our mold with compressed air, works like a charm
I was thinking compressed air, or water to dissolve the PVA and float the original kayak out of the new hull.
Good mold prep will take care of 95% of surface problems and demolding issues. Its way more costly to fix things in a patch process than it is to mold it perfect to begin with. Get your molds to a near mirror finish and use make sure everything has been buffed with your demolding compound and no wax left.

This is incredible!!! Building a boat is on my bucket list and now I want to do it even more
Use a GPS to feed your speed into the Arduino. Set the LED colors to run down the boat front to back at the same speed your traveling...
Or detect paddle strokes to flash to the rhythm.
Re: "Use a GPS to feed your speed into the Arduino."
Or a small paddle wheel driving a rotary encoder or similar rev counter. Maybe just a magnet on the wheel passing a pickup on the boat, if you don't care about direction of travel. Fewer moving parts, less subject to water damage. That's how some types of boat speedometers work. Maybe use one of those sensors and condition that output signal to match Arduino inputs.
