Cotton flock is what you should use to thicken resins. Micro ballons have no strength.

[@theazimuthadventure2138]

Thank you! Haven’t heard of that yet. We will look into that immediately.

Advise go watch life on the Hulls , for the correct way to fiberglass and make thicken Epoxy

[@theazimuthadventure2138]

Okay. Yes sir. Thank you.

Hello guys. For laminating complicated shapes use biaxial glass. It is much easyier to shape and stick better to the base layer.

[@theazimuthadventure2138]

Okay. Yes sir. Thank you Petr! We appreciate the direction.

[@theazimuthadventure2138]

Yes sir. This is that exact boat. Thanks for joining us!

[@aaronpercy650]

you need more ballons in the poxy mix to thicken it needs to be more thick and gluey

[@theazimuthadventure2138]

Yes sir! You are absolutely right!

[@davemoulding8799]

All that fiberglass taping above your head just laying over the wood is junk needs to come out and redo it so it molds around wood to hull

[@theazimuthadventure2138]

Just the part we did or the entire boat?

[@sparkeyjones6261]

That's quite a mishmash of fiberglass cloth pieces on the hull interior. I certainly hope that wasn't done by the manufacturer. I'd be tempted to strip that all out of there.

[@theazimuthadventure2138]

That is all original.

[@Lighthouse6b]

Use 4200 not 5200 unless you never ever want to replace or remove them

[@theazimuthadventure2138]

Yes sir. We have also been told that 5200 below the waterline and 4200 above the waterline.
