SS – Ep 15 – 18′ Sailboat Build (Glass Laminating Schedule)

fiberglass

This video is about the preparation necessary for the fiberglass tape and cloth layup. Pre-measuring and cutting all the glass pieces, numbering them, and storing them in the order of the layup will avoid confusion, save time, and reduce waste. The pieces should be cut no larger than what you can handle during layup within the duration of the resin pot life or working time.

The cordless electric shears I used in the video came from Harbor Freight Tool Co. They have a posted retail price of $40.00US but you can always get a 20% off coupon (which is what I did), so I was able to purchase them for $32.00US (plus Maine sales tax).
