  • Once you have fiber glassed over your plywood, you NEED to seal it with gelcoat! Gelcoat not only makes your fiber glass work look better, it seals and creates a water barrier for your raw Fiber glass. This step is very important, and should not be skipped! It is not hard to work with gelcoat, you just need to understand the basics. In this video I will show you how we have been gel coating over fiber glass for years in our families Boat shop. Follow along step by step, this is a full length video with no details left out. If you find this video helpful, please remember to subscribe, like comment, and share! Thanks for watching!

    Great videos, Capt!! I started my YT Channel because there is an EXTREME lack of "GOOD how-to's" available on TH-cam.. a few garage boat builders misguiding the masses! Your content is GOLD!

    The original Glassing-the-Plywood piece, the different kinds of CSM, and now this with Gel Coating, Both First Class. I have worked Polyester and Epoxy since 1964 and I learned so many little Tips in both of these vids. I like your emphasis of pouring liquid out as soon as fully mixed, to cut the heat/cure issue.

    Awesome highest quality knowledge from a craftsman!!! Family businesses and craftsmen are disappearing. As a high end residential custom custom remodeling contractor [ ret.] At 61, I now do log slab metallic epoxy tables, classic truck restoration, custom tool making, and making rc airplanes and boats, [ if you stop moving - you'll die! ] [if you stop learning - you're boring! ] Thank you for teaching as I enjoy teaching others as well. At no matter what age, if you're open minded to tips and tricks that's what makes a craftsman. Just a quick trick as I also use cheap chip brushes for epoxy and por 15 paint, get the cheap super glue and apply to the base of the bristles all the way around at the steel band, this will prevent bristles to come out into your finish. Hope that can help. Now I'm thinking of learning how to do youtube to teach my tips learned in high end remodeling? Once again thanks!!!!

    • @FishBumpTV

    After years and years of working in commercial construction industry I learned how to control airborne particulate with fans. one blowing in the building, one blowing on me while I work and one blowing out of the building through a close window or opening. When installing mineral wool into a ceiling I would have on a full face hepa PAPR, tyvech suit with gloves and a nice stought fan blowing right on me while working. Fan also keeps you from roasting inside that sweat suit. Same method ror overhead insulation in a crawl space, feels so good to come out of a crawl space peel off all that gear and not be eaten alive by glass.

    Short seasons tought me a few tricks, especially at cold conditions but this works both ways;
    Hot weather; To slow down premature curing, keep your mix container in a cold bath of water, or in a passive top-lidded camping cooling box with a few blue freeze blocks put in. Rules of convection will keep the cooled air trapped down in the tub, so theres no need for having the lid on. Can easily be done for the roller tray too, if need be.
    Cold weather; Use temperate/hotter water bath for your mix container instead. Gentle powered heat blankets/electric foot warmer pouches also works well. Dont pizz off your missus, buy one for designated use :))
    Use UV terrazze type heaters for the surface curing. Work localized spots according to your available surface heating capacity. Regulate surface heat with distance between heater to surface, or buy a pulse regulator, fitting your amperage draws. Mine came from the floor heating cable shelves, at the building electrical installations section, mine are rated 4KW, costed about 150 USD.
    UV makes for a fancy electrical bill but work can be done, it allows you if willing, to repair glassfibers and paints surrounded with snow. Quarts type heaters are more transfer efficient but costs much more to buy. I bought my 1000W´s standards for about 25 USD pr pop on my local cheapo store. They work well enough, 2 of six died by rain penetration when I forgot them on a project standing outside. Kept under a roof and treated somewhat gentle they serve on well.
    With using UV follows a bonus; colder weathers actually becomes more preferable to work in, as there is no chance of humidity condensation forming as usual is, on colder than atmo surfaces. As also then allows, for working anything glue/laminate/paint much more risk free in higher air humidities.

    Thanks very much for the excellent videos. I am completing a 40ft, plywood with fibreglass sheathing catamaran which was started almost ten years ago, when the builder unfortunately suddenly died in 2018. He finished the hulls in 2016 and has finished most of the topsides using the following technique (taken from his blog):
    'The long job of fibreglass sheathing of the topsides has been started.
    The plywood is covered with 390 gram twill weave cloth, filled with epoxy resin and finally a layer of peel ply cloth is laid on top. Once set, the peel ply is removed leaving a smooth, amine free surface. Minor blemishes are sanded and filled. and then a final coat of epoxy is applied using a roll and tip method. The finished surface will need a light sanding and then can be painted. I have added a white pigment to the epoxy resin.'
    The finish achieved is excellent.
    What is your opinion of this method?

    • @FishBumpTV
      @FishBumpTV  ปีที่แล้ว

      That is a pretty common method in my opinion. I would imagine that if the work was done correctly, it should be good. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

Fiberglass was one thing i wanted to learn. Your videos have been soooo helpful! I’m definitely sticking around to soak up all the knowledge I can from you!
    Next on my list is learning about acrylic so I can cut him some new hatches. Then some marine upholstery because the “professional” he had reupholster the entire boat decided to not use marine-grade materials for the base and my dad is devastated 🥺 Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

    Really enjoying these videos and hoping to use info gleaned to tidy up gel-coat in cockpit of my yacht, possibly build an instrument display 'console'.
    Have to laugh though at how 58 degrees is as low as you like to work in - that's a nice day here, I'll likely be attempting my work in air temps around 45F 😀

    • @FishBumpTV
      @FishBumpTV  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Glad you are enjoying the videos! It's the resins that won't cure properly below the mid 50s, not so much my personal preferences. In fact, most polyester or vinyl ester resins need closer to 60 degrees at the absolute minimum to cure. I recently posted a video on tips and techniques for cold weather fiberglass work that you might find helpful. I hope this clarifies, and I appreciate you watching!

I was going to have a shop do the work but watching your videos has inspired me to take the chance and do the work myself.And originally putting plywood back in the boat made me very nerves about having to redo in a couple years. But your Coosa board usage and videos has me sold. Thanks again

    I had always heard that you can't gelcoat over epoxy, but I've found that as with many things, it depends. The rumor is that gelcoat won't stick to epoxy, but my experience has been that gelcoat won't cure over certain epoxies. Even after the epoxy had cured for a week or more before applying gelcoat, the gelcoat becomes a sticky hard to remove mess. But, I've had excellent success with gelcoat over overnight cured West epoxy. I've had success with West 105 with both slow and fast hardeners, but I haven't tried it with extra slow.
    Give it a try for yourself.

    If we are going to be sanding an unwaxed layer, we usually wipe a wet acetone rag over the coat beforehand and leave it for about 10 minutes. Sticky stuff is gone then and does not clog up the paper anywhere as much.
    We also tend to use a hand held Infrared heater instead of heat guns now. They work much faster and give much quicker results, especially on a cool day when coats are not setting. One good warm up and half an hour later, you're sanding.
    I am really enjoying your videos, very informative and your work looks very professional. I am learning a lot.

      Need to add to this about the acetone rags.
      Different brands of resin can react differently. Some brands, this method does not work very well. Just have to try it and see if it works on your one or not.

      All this great advice and only a brief mention of a charcoal respirator. Might want to emphasize, Styrene is not good to breathe! That’s why big factories like the one I worked in (Pearson Tillotson) had scrubbers. I never touch polyester resin without one. Otherwise this is serious content.

    Well you have the same troubles with sticky gelcoat after drying, which clogs the grinding paper. Take a soft cloth and wet it well with acetone. Then wipe off the gelcoat and the surface become extremely sticky, but for some time. After 1-3 hours, depending the gelcoat thickness, amount of applied hardener (you call it catalyst), drying temperature, the surface become matte. Then you can cover any uneven surfaces with an additional layer of gelcoat or polish the surface.
