Tabbing bulkheads into a 1970 Westwind Paceship 24 requires creating a structural fillet and applying multiple layers of 1708 fiberglass cloth.5:29 To ensure a consistent radius for the fiberglass, pack a thickened epoxy paste—mixed with silica for sag resistance—around the bulkhead perimeter before laying the glass.5:20 Using a 2-to-1 epoxy resin provides a longer working time and lower viscosity for easier saturation of the 1708 material compared to a 5-to-1 mix.7:19 When working in confined spaces, cut fiberglass strips into manageable 2-to-3-foot lengths to maintain control during application.6:41 If fiberglass sags or fails to set correctly, allow the resin to cure fully, grind away the defective section, and re-apply the glass.12:53 Three layers of 1708 tabbing on both the fore and aft faces of the bulkheads provide significantly more structural integrity than the original factory installation.16:46 Fatigue often leads to application errors, so walking away when frustration mounts prevents compounding mistakes.11:15
