Re: Doug's GV10
Yay! Always a good milestone building a boat.
Re: Doug's GV10
Definitely not the worlds best taping and sanding job, but its solid and done. Besides, a layer of 12 oz biax is going to cover the sole and bottom and hopefully hide my sins!
Seat tops will be fastened after biax is applied to the sole and faired.
Seat tops will get fastened after all the biax is down.

Got the bottom glassed with 12 oz biax this morning. 3 hours start to finish from bare plywood to coated, glassed and recoated. I think it turned out fairly well considering it's the first time I've done this.

Re: Doug's GV10
So I have a question. Not having dealt with 12 oz biax in the past, it looks like the crosshatch is not as defined as it is in pictures posted by others. Am I done sanding or should I go a little deeper?

Re: Doug's GV10
If you haven't already, then paint the inside of that forward compartment before putting the lid on it. Having just twisted myself into a pretzel to reach the inside of mine, I wish I had. The bottom of the seats is another annoying spot to reach after they're mounted.
Re: Doug's GV10
Thanks Corvidae, seat tops are about the last thing that will be done. Rigid foam panels will be glued in under the seat tops before they are installed permanently.

Re: Doug's GV10
Made a little progress. The sole is fiberglassed with 12oz biax, the rubrails are on, and I applied the first coat of fairing slurry to one side of the bottom. Didn't seem to do much in the way of filling the weave. Is that to be expected, or should I be using more wood flour in the slurry?
