Goldie, glad to see the way your pouring your resin. Just one more thing to make it easier. Put the cap on tight and pull the spout out. Its a plastic flexible spout that's pushed in so they can stack the pails for shipping. It will pull out an inch or two and you can push it back in to stack if you wanted to.

For some reason all your videos are running at high speed and I can't figure out how to get them to run at normal speed. I'm kinda dumb with this computer stuff, can anyone help me??

WOW! Lotsa work goin on in Sacramento!!! You're gunna be a Glassin Pro before long!!! TIp: Cut the glass about 2" larger then Tug, Pull and TEAR the edges to make em HAIRY! That loosens the fibers and makes it a lot easier to wrap em over the edges and lay down without bubbles. Your PB was really good!!! You only need to mix the Hardener for about 30 - 45 secs. I usually use 1.25% Cabosil to resin Ratio and 1/4 cup of Strand per Quart of Resin. When it's hot you can put your resin buckets on ICE in an ice chest to "Trick Em" into thinkin it's cool outside and it won't KICK OFF so fast. Back Off on the hardener just a bit too! Won't hurt the mix at all. You're doing some mighty fine work. Don't worry so much about the air bubbles on the edges that will be filleted. Spend your time on other more critical things. You're NOT building FINE FURNITURE for a MUSEUM!!!!:eek::D;)

Thanks again for that pouring tip! I think my cap is stripped because it wont pull the spout out, I keep forgetting to grab some pliers but really.... using your pouring method is so perfect I really don't need the spout right now :cool:

Nothing is wrong with your computer :D When I edit the videos I purposely speed them up to make them shorter and hopefully not too boring :rolleyes: My goal is to help others by example as I have been helped by you, wood, tp, Mr. Jarretts, Big Gary from Classic Craft in Sacramento, the list goes on and on of all the kind people who share their knowledge of boat building with me. I don't think you can truly appreciate boat restoration until you do it or are a part of it. Its definitely an art. So, if somebody looks at my videos and learns something I did right or learns from my mistakes, I'm happy :)

​I will make a video at regular speed soon just for you ;)

Thanks for the tips and all the encouragement!! I will try that tear and tug because those short edges where giving me the blues! :frusty: The wider sides of the transom came out pretty nice though :)
