Glassing the inside of the hull can be tricky. Sometimes nearly impossible without gaps, bubbles and dry areas.
This one was especially difficult. I used 6oz cloth which is thicker (it’s what I had on the shelf) plus the surface was very uneven with large spaces where the wood had been removed. I had been able to sand the outside of the hull but my sander would and inside curves.
On top of that, the sheer strip was at an angle and I had used epoxy with wood flour to fill and re-enforce that area. That made for some really odd angles that were almost impossible to follow and to get the glass to stick. Even if I had used 4oz or even 2 oz fiberglass.
Even the keel strip wouldn’t let the glass smooth out.
But as the inside will mostly be hidden, I sanded out the bubbles, cut out the areas that pulled away from the sheer and reapplied epoxy.
Time to start the forms.
