Building a Welsford Long Steps - The WoodenBoat Forum
WEBJan 29, 2024 — Tad had provided a strake layout drawing, showing how I could get the lower hull strakes out of 6 sheets of 4X8 ply scarfed together into two 24’ long sheets. I printed the drawings out to scale and sat down to figure out whether I could get the bottom panel and lower strakes onto 5 sheets of ply, rather than 6.
The ultimate fiberglass substitute? - The WoodenBoat Forum
WEBSep 21, 2002 — The ultimate fiberglass substitute? 09-21-2002, 03:52 AM Like most guys here, I really dislike sanding/grinding fiberglass, whether set in epoxy or polyester, but some surfaces require sheathing to stand up to the weather or abuse.
Dressing fiberglass edges - The WoodenBoat Forum
WEBOct 13, 2007 — Re: Dressing fiberglass edges Rather than brushing the epoxy over the edge of the cut fiberglass, rolling it on, moving from the center of the cloth and toward the edge should yield a better result. I use a 1/4" thick foam roller for this. Just don't roll back over the edge in the other direction to avoid lifting the edge.

WEBMar 14, 2012 — Re: Pressure treated wood in boats-I'd like to know too...Maybe one of the experts on here will answer...All I know is the guy with the wooden cruiser next to me at the yard is replacing his rotten frames with pressure treated lumber that he bought at Home Depot, while I'm spending $$$ at the lumber yard on douglas fir and mahogany....but I draw the line at using the zink plated fastners that ...
Fiberglass over wood - The WoodenBoat Forum
WEBOct 21, 2023 — New to the wbf. I recently acquired a beautiful 80' teak Dhow.

Goat Island Skiff or Mollyhawk - The WoodenBoat Forum
WEBApr 11, 2010 — Using exterior ply is a false economy, as the only way to make the boat last is to cover it with fiberglass and epoxy, thereby increasing the cost and weight. Unless you intend to seriously limit the use of the boat to only a few seasons and then destroy it, you'll be putting yourself, your boys, or subsequent owners in a world of hurt using ...
Canvas and epoxy!!??!!???? - The WoodenBoat Forum
WEBApr 24, 2003 — My goal is to reduce checking on a fir plywood- I have read that just the epoxy alone is not enough, but even 4 oz. cloth is more than the canvas. I can get a canvas drop cloth much cheaper at Lowes/Home Depot- will the fibers in the canvas be enough to work with the epoxy and stop the cheking?-- For …
Do I need to Fiberglass both sides of the hull?
WEBMay 4, 2007 — Even an epoxy coating alone (with fiberglass) won't solve the checking problem. Since you can't fiberglass, this is probably a moot point, but it is something to know about. An epoxy coating might at least cut down on the checking but as I said before, it will also probably be a royal pain to install if the boat is basically done at this point.
