Re: 1973 Formula Thunderbird Tri Hull Restoration
Just a heads up, not sure what they mean by premium polyester resin, but all you need is laminating or lay-up resin for the transom, stringers and deck...plus if you are doing all three, you will probably need much more than 5 gallons...sounds like closer to 15 gallons...you will be surprised how fast it goes when you start wetting out 1708 and making PB...Also, I don't know if your shipping costs would be higher if you buy some of the resin now and the rest later...
Also, you seem a bit short on the Cabosil, that is one of your main ingredients for PB and it works out almost One to One with resin to make a thick paste...
BTW, nice work so far and grinding absolutely sucks!
