5 years ahead is some foresight. Great to see jonnie pop his head in. Janet was sweating like a geordie in a spelling test, fair play. Keep going folks
" All about saving the environment." O brother, I'm sorry Ross, I think I'm with Janet on this one. LOL btw Ross those anti slip mould's are a prized possession, I bet their a huge market for those babies. That's for sure.
Mate looks the goods. You are right about the gaps between give you a better grip. Don’t ever cut those anti slip moulds up. You could sell that stuff by the meter to others👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. It’s going to look great..
The fiberglass king. Nice work, i am still impressed that you can work in those temperatures, these days we have perfect temps for me like 20 degrees c. i like the way you get the antislip surface, greate idear. Take care mate. All the best.
like i said.... the home stretch....... sugar scoops will be impressive as will the rest or your vessel. (but then au always new dat!!!) (inspector Clousseau ).. Have a good week
Ross, if a trim ring is one of the few misses on foresight, it is nothing short of phenomenal. If you ever get out of the boat building business, you may consider a second calling as a fortune teller.
Well, you told me 6 months back to wait on the helm station and I must admit I am definitely impressed with the results. Beginning to believe that you may not have any sqeaks in the entire lay-up.... I also believe in Santa, though. 😂👏👏👏
Got to give it to you Roscoe you are a geniuses ~ But always remember the woman that stands by you, That`s right Janet! well put it this way over the years she has been right most of the time. lol Janet us woman have to stick together hahaha xxx sending much love to both of you
Roscoe another enjoyable episode. You make the joining of frp panels look so easy! I wonder what % of your viewers realize the effort required to get such spectacular finishes! Would it not be easier to "paint" on an anti slip using resin mixed with some sort of hard granules?
Now i know why you sometimes have a captive on-site audience and never need to worry about snacks for yourself. You have an on-site bakery truck and coffee center at your disposal>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Lol 🤣🤣😂😂😅😉😋
So much forethought and detail. I agree with Janet and John, stop the moaning and get on with it. The underside mold template and the cardboard cutouts will work fine. Crack on, fall is coming.
Ross has a Cristal ball and that’s how you know you needed the anti-slip….that or it came to you in a dream/ premonition. I simply can not see it being down to being organised and well planned ahead of time, that’s Janet’s expertise. 🤣😂
We have given up on following an absurd system where our boat can be chartered. The cost each inspection was $5000 which was recorded by a government agency so it can be used as a charter boat.Annual fee is $16000 to remain survey.Ross
Sorry on this one you should have just “ kiwi griped “ the whole thing I’ve had it in place for over 10 years … and never been more happy. Your over thinking this simple thing
I have kiwi grip on our other boats,runabout and yacht and I have too aggressive texture I know I could done I have matched the remainder of the boat which is mire important.All will be flexible teaked later in its life as we will get it on the water ad is first.This was dead simple to do.Ross
@@LifeOnTheHulls your right if you straight up roll the Kiwi per instructions you can get an aggressive texture.. I had this happen on a 20 footer I restored solved it by block sanding the tips off with 220 grit. but on a second boat I learned Kiwi can be thinned with water . This provides a much less aggressive finish . Also figured I could get custom coloring from a local paint supplier. But your right you can do this at anytime depending on how good your molded surface is. I’ve also had good luck using thickened gel coat with a silicon mold pulled from the original none skid texture

Considering how those 'extensions' will make a nice leeward spot to sit and enjoy a cold frosty, you could call them 'Coopers Scoops'!
Had me laughing with the non-skid negotiations. Well done.
It's all coming along nicely & pointing in the direction of HAPPINESS...Good Stuff😊
Thanks Peter,we are getting there.
I could really see the Synergy between you and the glass in this video.

Love watching this
Been here from the start
My Saturday morning ritual
Fantastic Colin,thanks for tuning in mate.Rossco
On a positive note. When this is all done, you’ll always have a job moonlighting at a surfboard factory, shaping and glassing surfboards 😊
Mate looks the goods. You are right about the gaps between give you a better grip. Don’t ever cut those anti slip moulds up. You could sell that stuff by the meter to others👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. It’s going to look great..
We have tested this concept in this last downpour and certainly works.Cheers Nick.
I love how your little mistakes turn in to treasures!!!! Its looking fabulous!

Love the gaps. Sweeter looking.
Johnny!
Classic
Great work, Ross. I'm looking forward to seeing the extentions finished.
Greetings from Germany.
Cheers
mate, helm area is looking great! Good thinking on the anti slip for the steps.
Job well done
Its looking fantasic
Worst case you could use seadek which looks amazing also if you don't like your grip panels
You guys need a holiday….. hard work will pay off.
Got to give it to you Roscoe you are a geniuses ~ But always remember the woman that stands by you, That`s right Janet! well put it this way over the years she has been right most of the time. lol Janet us woman have to stick together hahaha xxx sending much love to both of you
Thanks so much and yes you are so right.We are nothing without amazing women at our side and we are reminded of this every day.Cheers Rossco.
Impressive as always mate . I often think how the hell is he going to make that look good and then you do haha.
Love the look of the antislip... helm stasion floor??...!! what about the dog?? Lab??
Roscoe another enjoyable episode. You make the joining of frp panels look so easy! I wonder what % of your viewers realize the effort required to get such spectacular finishes!
Would it not be easier to "paint" on an anti slip using resin mixed with some sort of hard granules?
Those gaps in between the anti-slip will be great for dispersing rain and bathing water and keeping the anti-slip more dry and less slippery.
Thsnks Gunnar, I thought that would be a better solution and looks better in my opinion.Rossco
@@LifeOnTheHulls Yeah, it will look great! Looking forward to see the final product when gelgoated around the anti-slip as well.
Looks good to me.

Ross, you get a quote for flexiteek? Would that have been an option? Looking awesome!
More like sugar lumps ❤ 🎉
Haha
Youl be able to make a fine negative from those antislip pads so you can make more anti slip pads.
Ross has a Cristal ball and that’s how you know you needed the anti-slip….that or it came to you in a dream/ premonition. I simply can not see it being down to being organised and well planned ahead of time, that’s Janet’s expertise. 🤣😂
Better to do it in 2 pieces to allow a water channel for drainage.
Ross youre with Johnny Depp the only men that won an argument from a women 🎉🎉🎉🎉 lucky you 😂
Just remember: It's for the children. That's what they always say. LOL
Are you still getting inspections like when you were doing the hulls?
We have given up on following an absurd system where our boat can be chartered. The cost each inspection was $5000 which was recorded by a government agency so it can be used as a charter boat.Annual fee is $16000 to remain survey.Ross
@@LifeOnTheHulls sounds like the government does very well in the charter licensing business.
Where has Jonny bean? Not seen him for ages. 😳
Its more of a cake batter spatula than a sugar scoop at this point.

Uh ya get that glass, peel that ply oh ya, so hot. I have a fiberglass addiction.
Too funny
