    Fibergall & resin

    1st coat wood with resin to allow to soak in. If not the wood will absorb the resin as it cures and you will get a dry spot. With poly you need csm mat then the biaxial cloth. With epoxy just need cloth without mat. And once you got the hang of doing bits .... yes do bigger sections. Big...

    Multiple layers of fiberglass and laminating PE resin

    Remove quadrant gear and Stern leg is stuck in down position

    Here is my guess. After you removed quad and let it drop it must have hit hard on the 2 alignment pins and got wedged because it did move at some point. Loosen or remove side caps, loosen pivot bearing caps and lube with something. Attach (choke) a ratchet to the bottom of the outdrive leg and...

    Immediate delamination

    Is it possible there was a previous repair done in that spot with epoxy already? I had to do my bilge in epoxy due to a repair i couldnt grind out because i wouldnt have had a hull left in that spot. After doing the bilge i did transition pieces to isolate the epoxy and went back to poly

    I think I'm another story of a bad boat purchase

    Agree about rot. Disagree about stopping project. He can make the cradle, start demo and grind away. Cut and prefit some of the wood. That way when it starts to warm he is ready to go glassing

    Resin Cracks

    Yea...Grind it out and reglass. Dont let the excess pool like the factory did. If it didnt crack all the way thru it could at some point. Its not allowed to flex right like that. Side note.... what i did to help my power tools was to wrap all the intake vents with resperator mask paper. I would...
