Building the 23' V-Bottom Skiff - Episode 18: How to apply 2-part epoxy barrier coat to the hull
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 พ.ย. 2021
- We’ll we’ve faired it and we’ve sanded it and it’s time to apply Totalprotect 2-part epoxy barrier coat to the hull of our V-Bottom skiff. This will act as a protection for the fiberglass and also helps continue to fair our out any last remaining imperfections in the hull. We’re going to thin the epoxy approx 10% and apply two coats with sanding in between. Our next step will be rip some additional lumber for the rails, in whales and few other pieces we’ll need, as well as our center runner. That’s the piece that will run down the center of the boat and helps with directional stability and also gives you a strong platform to help spread the load when you’re jacking or moving the boat as well as protection for the fiberglass.

I want someone to love me the way Louis loves his electric planer 😰
I greatly appreciate your willingness to share your life's experiences. I can relate to your skills. I started out 1968 as a tool and die apprentice. I am 70 and working as a tool design engineer. When all is said and done they just need some one who knows how to make things. It takes a lifetime to be able to do that. So I greatly enjoy your skills and craft
That pencil mark on a ruler trick is GREAT! Thanks.
I cannot fathom how someone could dislike this! A passionate craftsman doing what he loves is an absolutely joy!
I thought that Total Boat stopped supporting your channel. I hope that's changed.
Proper use of a roller takes some experience. People tend to roll too much paint out of the roller before picking up the next roller full. This of course gives them too thin and splotchy application. Also, once an area is nice and evenly covered, leave it alone, don't roll back over it with your roller that's low on paint or else you'll pick paint back up off that section which you don't want to do.
I always learn something from watching your videos. The pencil on the side of the ruler trick is a great idea. I'll borrow that!
The master at work - I never come away without having learned something useful and new - thanks for sharing your craft, always a pleasure to watch.
Fascinating series. Watching an expert craftsman is real experience.
A genious boat builder I think. Just my opinion. Thank you Lou.
.
HALSEY FULTON!
Not sure if putting your name at the end is a new thing, but glad you did. I've commented dozens of times singing the praise of Lou. And I'll continue doing so. You deserve plenty of recognition too. Thank you for using your skills and style to share and entertain.
Great name btw.
It's great seeing the process of building a boat ⛵.
Why this guy doesn’t have apprentices gathering around him is beyond me.... he is obviously a master at what he does.
I’ve used epoxy barrier coat on my boats. Great product. If applied fairly thickly that becomes your final fairing layer. It sands off easily, coming of in a dusty form, leaving a velvety finish for the final coat to adhere to. And given its epoxy based you can even apply thin layers of epoxy fairing compound over the barrier coat if you find a low spot somewhere you missed before painting. ( which are a lot easier to find once you’re dealing with a uniform finish ). I’m talking about gossamer thin layers on a few missed spots here of course. Obviously you want 99.9% of the fairing compound under the paint. I then touch up the barrier coat again before the final polyurethane finish coats. I’ve achieved some very nice results using this technique.
Thanks for the info.
Always look forward to a new episode. Learning so many useful tips and it's such a blessing for future generations to have these videos available.
I love this series. Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦
You made my week, Lou! Thanks for yet another episode. She's looking sweet; I love the lines. And what a joy to watch a master craftsman at work.
One tip I learned from an old time airplane painter was when you pour the paint out of the can don’t pour on the side with the mixing instructions and part number, that way the next day you still have those instructions readable.
It’s so pretty. Thank you for bringing us along.
That's a great tip to rub pencil lead to find the high spots.
Hi Lou! Good to see you. That piece of oak is still so bent. Can't wait to see how you straighten it
HI, After taking some epoxy training the tool to use for mixing best is the paddle mixers that attach to the cordless drill, although mixing with a paddle mixer has to be careful not to inrich bubbles into it.
Hi Lou, thanks for your videos! We use to box 5 gallon buckets of paint in the Navy and I never used a spoon for my coffee…I boxed it with 2 paper cups off the mess deck!
"It doesn't have to be perfect. We're not building a Thomasville highboy here, we're building a boat." Love it.
Your work and knowledge is amazing you are an inspiration to me. May this beautiful craft never die
Back and forth is boxing and boxing is back and forth.
I'm a Home Improvement carpenter of 40 years, used an electric plane a few times, but I've never seen anyone use it to the extent that Lou does! He's a regular magician with that thing! He's even modified it for his personal use. Truth be told, they sometimes scare me and I'll pick up a hand plane before I use the electric one for fear of ending up with a piece of kindling. Great work Lou! Keep those videos coming!
Great video! I really enjoy watching all of your videos. Keep up the great work. Can’t wait to see this thing finished.
Always fascinating and educational Lou. When you were trimming that piece of oak looked like you were shooting pool with a wet piece of spaghetti. The skiff is looking wonderful. The white and the lighting make the lines become clear. Thank you for sharing.
Here it is! *"ONE BOAT!"*
Great Boat absolutely!
Love the seating!
Wow, that's really taking shape! Love the series.
The Ryobi hand power planer is really great in so many applications. I use it a lot in carving.
Funny thing, you said you push the stock with your back hand and only guide it with your front hand when ripping on the table saw. I was taught to do it that way and automatically do it that way without thinking about it. I have always said that understanding your tools, understanding what you are cutting, respecting both of them, but not being afraid of them is the best way to stay safe. I walk away from any saw that I am "not comfortable with". The worst thing that you can do is use a tool that makes you uncomfortable, there is usually a reason you are uncomfortable. And always respect your tools.
Nice job can't wait to see it upright.
What a blessing these videos are!
Very nice work Lou. Cant wait to see it flipped over! 👍
These videos are absolute gold!
As always, well done 👍
Beautiful! Congrats on almost finishing it ;)
Acetone can get mixed with water so you can dilute the acetone or add acetone to water to help clean the surface for prep, prior to painting. Try the plastic lips that fit over the 1 gallon buckets of paint they allow you to pour easily without dripping. Boxing paint was a term used to take leftover paint (same color) and mixing it with the new paint so it blends together and you don’t need to toss the paint. The term I’m guessing was taking the paint buckets that are shelved on low profile 2” cardboard boxes lids and then combining them. It’s a safe guess that mixing the paint or a two part epoxy would be boxing the material. Thanks great videos.
Loved that episode Lou! You are a brilliant man with boats. Hope im as good as you when im that age my friend! 🛶
Good knowledgeable work with helpful commentary
Always amazed Lou!
Instead of a spin, you can also do what candy makers do when decanting melted sugar from a pot: flip the canister away from you so the drip edge drips back inside.
Can't wait for next week
i love watching you work, wish i had a fraction of your knowledge and experience.
A fraction would be immense with my carpentry skills😅
Great job
Great work sire ,it the golden hand
Beautiful
1:03 Sounds like a protection racket.
thanks Lou.
great job, very informative. maybe they call it boxing because you give it the old one two 😁
Amazing
I recently discovered that red oak is the equal of white oak in strength, and furthermore that it can be pressure treated very successfully. THAT is what should be done with red oak these days. It would make it ideal for marine purposes and make a really first rate deck lumber for porches and outdoor decks.
Us Yankees call it jogging the paint, we just don't have that fine hard wood on the west coast. Jealous that you have that beautiful white oak
good stuff
She is coming along very nicely. Is that a new electric plane, I don't see the exhaust extension ?
You are a treasure.
Old painters trick
Put multiple nail holes in the rim of can and all the paint drains back where it belongs
nice!
“We’re naught buildin’ a Thomasville Highboy here”
I don't get it either. It's just a small wooden boat. However, I don't get the Mona Lisa either. But how could I? It's just a painting of a plain woman's face and I'm just an unwashed plebian. You can't row it. You can't store clothing in it. But apparently millions of people like looking at her and pay millions of dollars every year to to go see her in the Louvre.
When will you build the rest of it? With multiple projects going on. it seems it's taking forever to finish this one
Thomasville highboy lol
Hydrogen Dioxide is my favorite solvent! :)
Boxing paint term comes from boxing (fighting) back and forth
After you're done painting, would you put 2-3 coats of KB diamond clear coat poly-urethane?
It's a hard clear coat
Maybe missed it but my question is why glass and finish part of the hull before the rest of the hull planking is done?
Who does know the origin of the expression “boxing “ the paint?I’ve been asking for years.
Is there a way to put a center concle in the flat bottom skiff thank stan
I see in your videos that you use epoxy resin for your glass. Can polyester resin also be used to bond glass to plywood?
Epoxy sticks much better. But polyseter was used for many years. It can work. There is also vinyl ester resin. You use it about the same way as polyester, but they say it sticks a little better and is more resistant to blistering. I only have experience with epoxy, though.
Hi, I bought a classic Sail boat 32 fts long is a very nice boat, is very wonderful inside, a really classic wood sailboat, but have a damage on hull, ant top of cabin, leak water from the cabin roof, I need for fix, can you have a free time for consult about the best way for fix and write supplies? Thank you Delcio from Winnipeg Canada 🇨🇦
WOOD ...... where can I find good wood to build a small skiff ? ...in Cleveland Ohio
Jeez, that settles me down.
WATER LEVEL / BUCKIT OF WATER AND A CLEARHOSE
👍👍🙂
OK. I just bought a Ryobi electric plane. Ryobi owes Lou some sponsorship money.
A 'little curve'...he he he...LOL
🙂👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good for you,I bet she can get in skinny water.
Wouls not even bother watching your adverts any more . When you going back to the other boat?
A fool and his thumbs soon shall part. Lol. Just a joke. I know you know what you are doing
I'm glad this man was NOT cast for the Gilligan's Island show .. he would have RUINED my childhood
You really like talking ! I don't know who you think you are ? But your not ! And different thing's like that ! Maybe just do silent video ? It would be much more enjoy ! And diferent thing's like that ??
Nope. Exactly wrong.
Whut
I love the way Lou talks.
you still have all your fingers after 11 minutes ? I stopped looking at this silly "bravery" with the left hand .fingers don't grow back as far as I know , plain stupid thing to risk for an otherwise good craftsman.
Boring as watching paint dry.
and yet we can't look away!
That’s ok, channels like this are only for those who are interested.
Not if you are into the theme. If you ever build a boat yourself you will find it very interesting and educational.

Put the bong down dude...
