The Fiberglass Plan

Sail Boat is still anchored and awaiting fiberglassing.

For a long time we were missing this one piece of equipment, a bizzarre metal roller with ridges designed specifically for fiberglassing boats.
The plan as highlighted by the local expert “Vargas Dan” who has fiberglassed many a boat is as follows :
A) We will measure, pre cut and pre-fit the roll of fiberglass matt.
B) We will mix only tiny amounts of liquid un waxed fiberglass with the hardener in small yogurt containers. Apparently once you have mixed the fiberglass resin and hardening agent you only have minutes to get it on the matt before it sets. We did a test a run and we now have a fiberglass hockey puck that formed at the bottom of a yogurt container.
C) Mix a tiny amount of fiberglass solution, pour on then smoothen on with special metal roller.

Special Clause: You need 2-4 days of straight sun and you can only directly apply the fiberglass solution between 11am-3pm due to the moisture in the air. In the early morning and late afternoon there is too much moisture in the air. Moisture creatures bubbles in the fiberglass. You need the days off sun to make sure the fiberglass is fully set.
