Applying two layers of 1708 fiberglass cloth to the hull of a 23-foot V-bottom skiff requires a coordinated team effort to maintain a wet edge and prevent premature curing.Watch The process involves using a slow-cure, two-to-one ratio epoxy to extend working time across the large surface area.3:50 Before applying resin, the team pre-cuts the cloth to length and rolls it up to ensure rapid, precise application.2:59 To prevent air bubbles at the chines and stem where the cloth resists bending, the crew secures the fiberglass with battens over polyethylene strips, held in place by small-diameter box nails.10:25 These nails are driven only deep enough to hold and are later removed, with the resulting holes filled using a syringe.10:54 A foam roller spreads the initial coat of thinned epoxy, while a fin roller ensures thorough saturation of the cloth.6:08 The use of a temporary rail along the hull allows the team to reach the centerline without leaning against the wet resin.6:47
