Fiberglass Prep

I've been very nervous to do the fiberglassing, so I did a test piece on the cut-out of the cockpit. Turned out not to be as bad as expected. After the test worked, I rolled out my fiberglass onto the kayak and then used a paintbrush to work the cloth smooth to the kayak. The actual fiberglassing of the boat took about an hour of none stop moving. I used a slow cure hardener and had plenty of time to work. I used MAS for both my Resin and Hardener. The bow and stern are the toughest areas because you need to trim the fiberglass to overlap them. I will be putting a second coat of fiberglass there anyway so it will be fine. My fear of fiberglassing is much less now... can't wait to do the deck!
