Great video. I did notice you were using a chopped strand mat backing on the fibreglass cutouts. You may not want to use chopped strand mat with an epoxy resin because of the styrene binder, which glues all the strands of fibreglass together. Epoxy resin does not dissolve the styrene binder in the chopped strand mat, which can lead to problems of delamination down the road. Polyester resin is catalysed with Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP) which dissolves the styrene binder in the chopped strand mat, making it a suitable resin. Other types of fibreglass cloth can be used with epoxy such as a biaxial weave with a stitched mat backing.
Great job and awesome decision getting experienced help so you learn the right way. Much love from Canada
Just came over from bums on a boat!... Great videos... Thank You for sharing
Thank you so much. Joel and Michel are an awesome pair.

Thank you for that. It's something we will keep an eye on. Did a ton of research and didn't know that. Thank you so much.
Heat gun on the rail to help the varnish come of easy
What tool is that?
should actually start with the biggest fiberglass circle piece and get gradually smaller
Interesting. Thanks, I will have to do some research on that.
Doesn’t matter what order you do it.
@@knotvanilla7808 think about it in terms of bonding you want the most bond surface down first!
The first tool you used
