Re: Cabin rebuilt Project
Been out of town without 'puter. Read your PM's not sure what question your asking about. Anyway back home now. Hope its still going good.
Here ill re post it, also i didnt get anything in PM
Ahhh having that much experience would certainly come in real handy ! This was a great learning experience for me. Still a lot to learn in order to see this project to the end. I think you just solved my dilemma, I really didnt want to sand FG on the final layer (if I did moldless form), but now it looks like I dont have to. I could just use polyester primer to fill the weave than just sand the primer down ye?
Following was my plan, please tell me if this is a good way to go about doing it, and if you would/wouldnt do it this way.
If you look at the last photo you can see that my plug comes in 2 parts. One is the foam bit and the other is the plywood laminate.
Now, to get the best finish I thought on what if I drop 4 layers of 20oz cloth over the whole thing than 1 layer of really fine cloth to get a smoother finish than sand it down flat (this part I was dreading) but now I could just fill the weave with a primer than sand the primer flat and ready for gelcoat.
After laying the final cloth layer I would pull out the foam plug, prepare and fiberglass the inside of the previously layed layers. This leaves me with sandwiched plywood leminate.
I thought id do it this way so that I can have a smooth top layer (minimize sanding), right thickness and sandwiched plywood. Also cant do too many layers on the outside otherwise ill lose the windscreen channel and it wont fit.
Does this make sense, its a little late here ? Thanks
