Glassing the hull

We first planed how we would lay the glass and what kind of overlap we would have with the different sheets. After a quick descussion with rob we found that the overlap should be no less then 40mm but no more then 50mm for the glass. We decided that we would start from the middle of the boat and work then work aft. then work our way to the bow for it was much trickier so we saved it for last. We then cut the db glass and peel-ply and started mixing the resin. We used brushed, plastic spatulas and rollers to spread the resin evenly.





After we lay'd the db glass we lay'd a layer of peel-ply over the db glass. Peel-ply is good because it flattens out the db and picks up all the excess resin when torn off, it also protects the boat from contamination.
