About 25 min to kick give or take.
So i take a fine nap roller roll the area to be fiberglassed put down the mat and roll over top just adding resin to the areas that don't turn completely translucent?

If you had 25 mins working time then stay with the 1.5% That's Perfect!!!

Yup That's how it's done!!! Put down a liberal coat of resin first and then lay the glass over it

Ok so I've got to stringers in and glassed. I also have the neck back in and glassed also.
Now I'm trying to figure out what to do next.
1. Should I put anything down before I glue the carpet down or can it go right over the fiberglass.

2. Also I took the motor and stern drive out to do all the repairs but left the (gimble housing thing) in
should I take that off and clean it? Is there anything on it I should replace. The engine ran to e before I took everthing out just wondering if there is any preventative things I should do while everything is apart.

3. I'm going to paint the area under the engine (the bilge area I guess it's call) and the area where the gas tank goes with bilge kote. Is this good?
