In fact, Im going to start fixing the slim possibility of the water managing to seep through any of those half inch holes in my hull right now!
Mixing resin....
You must make sure your measuring pot is on a firm, level surface.....
Er....
Why do they take pics when Im doing it er... differently.
...goggles in case of splashes as this stuff will destroy eyeballs, oh and gloves so your hands dont stick to the can before you even start...
These are the Emperors new goggles..
3 drips per 10 ml? I think.
stir it carefully and make sure you dont leave the drips on the side of the pot..

I am now in a hurry!
This stuff becomes unusable in about 20 mins at room temp.
Its summer, so maybe 15 mins.
Im painting the joints..
Its got to be enough to hold the tape on and make sure it doesnt actually dry out as the wood sucks up the resin.

This white tape stuff is glass tape.
Ive always thought of glass as sort of rigid and breakable.
No Idea how they made it into this stuff.
Its strong though.
It goes clear as you wet it out - add more resin.
Getting there
This tape doesnt stretch, but you can warp it..
As I wet it out and pull the bottom corner, the hump in the middle disapears.
Just finished as the last in the pot went lumpy.
Need to leave that overnight before I start pulling it about some more.
Well. in the night I got bored so I painted the bits that wernt fibreglassed.
Like you do at 3am.
