    Tyvek suit, full hood and cool weather..so you can cover up and not sweat..and won't itch like crazy..lol
    Will say would rather cover up and sweat like crazy than to get the glass all over me..
    My brother would grind all day get it all over him and wouldn't bother him... Me I just look at it and I start itching... Still loved doing it tho

    I used 1.5oz csm mat for my build. Also lots of 1708 cloth.

    The resin putty mix I do is 4:1 or so Cabosil to milled fibers. The first batch of putty I did with just Cabosil cracked once cured, haven't had any crack once I started adding milled fibers.

    A tip for the putty, mix the Cabosil and fibers into the resin first. A little thicker than you want to use(think peanut butter, the added catalyst will thin the mixture down just a bit) then add your catalyst last. That way the curing process isn't started as you're trying to get the consistency you want. You'll see what I mean once you mix some up. I've found the easiest way for working with putty is to put in a gallon zip lock bag, cut a corner off, and use it like a pipet bag. Putting the bag in an old coffee can holds it well for dumping putty in.

    Remember, I'm no expert, this is just what I've picked up along the way on my build. Most the technical stuff I get is from members here, or the guys at Express Composites where I buy my materials.

    I find working will glass kinda fun.

    Looking forward to see this come together! Seems like forum activity is up a bit since boating season is winding down for us change of season folks. Lots of build going on right now.
