This is the epoxy I’m using, this stuff is really easy to work with now that I can control the temperature in my shop, it kicks nice and slow unlike in the summer when it was hot as hell it kicks much quicker. Food for thought for anyone thinking of using this stuff. It will also lighten your wallet up. I was gonna gel coat my stringers but now just planning on giving them a light sanding and then putting another coat of the epoxy on. This stuff cures to a glass finish and will do the same thing the gel would do.

Just finished tabbing the floor in. I used the squeeze bag method with thickened epoxy for the fillets and it worked like a charm. Next I need to get a new block up front for the front eye bolt then I’ll work on the front bulkhead. So glad I’ll never ever have to look at the stringers again! The stringers were the most tedious time consuming part of the project. It’s all downhill from here on out.

Got the bulkhead and seat box tabbed in today, also glassed the front eye bolt in and tabbed in the corners of my rear seat.I have a layer of 1708 over my floor running from the bow all the way to about 2” behind the seat box, I obviously did this before I put the bulkhead and seat box down, I’ll continue with the 1708 over the floor as I work my way to the back of the boat. The seat box and bulk head lids are just screwed down for now so I could keep everything square while the glass hardens, once it cures I’ll pop off the lids and tab the insides of bulkhead and seat box and continue on.

Anybody have alternative cleaning chemicals other than acetone? Every time I get done working on the boat my eyelids swell up and it usually takes about 5 days to clear up. It’s either the acetone or the epoxy that’s doing it, I use a tyvek suit with a 3m respirator when sanding and vacuum everything up before in take the suit and respirator off. This weekend I tried something funny and put pieces of flexible medical tape over my eyelids before I started work on the boat and left it on the entire day ( both days) and took a shower as soon as I was done working. I figured I could use the extra protection and possibly rule out that the fiberglass dust was what is making my eyelids swell, well wake up Sunday morning and eyelids are all puffed up... now I’m thinking it’s either the acetone or epoxy, I use the acetone to clean all my tools and buckets after each batch of epoxy which is a lot of times in a 8hr work day, is there something other than acetone to use for this? Remember I’m using epoxy.

Ever consider a full face respirator? I wore one of these when grinding all the gelcoat off. Uses the same cartridges as a half respirator.
