FS17 low sheer

[tech_support]

You have to go real fast, maybe 4 inches a second.

would it help to use a real slow hardener? I have one here wich can be used for 7 hours @ 22°C.
Another one with 5 hours. I used this on several speaker cabinet projects and you could mix 1kg in a bottle and it gets only handwarm (the you only have about 45minutes).
Could this be a solution?

thanks

Joel - Do you fill the zip tie holes with epoxy or epoxy glue before glassing???

Nobody's slower than old Dougster, and slow hardener Silvertip worked just fine for me with the ziplock deal. Never lost a batch, and if you're slower than me, well......nah. Re speed of build, I don't guess it matters much. I figure the longer it takes the more fun for the money. Again, well...
Have yall ever heard the backpackers prayer? "You pick 'em up Lord, and I'll put 'em down".

Puttin' 'em down Dougster

martin, they are regularly working in 28-32C temps there, might be a bit warmer than your beautiful weather.

Joel, you ever use real icing bags (the disposable kind)? Price is actually less than a zippered bag, and the batch sizes are a hair smaller.

Is there any thought of making this a stock option? I have the plans for this boat, but had just about ruled it out in favor of another design. the low sheer makes it more appealing for me.

Yes, right before taping the seams we fill them with putty. While that putty is still malleable we glass the seams - this saves the step of letting it harden, the sanding/shaping the joints again.

We will show this when we do all the glassing - hopefully we will have some time to set aside today or tomorrow to glass the entire outside

I tried that ziplock bag thing... that stuff heats up way to quick for me to be any good with it...

Keep your epoxy in the fridge. It helps.

I will look into getting some of those for the inside - thanks
