No gel coat over epoxy so could you epoxy then top coat with vinyl ester then gel coat?

Hi Captain Joe, I was wondering if you could let everyone know about how much time you're investing into this project?

So when you use the colloidal silica you don't use wax even if it's the final coat to fill scratches?

Thank you Joe for the step by step instructional video. Really appreciate the explanations and all the extra effort. I've been wanting to build molds for a modernized BD-5B aircraft. Your videos are a great addition to my understanding of the different resins and methods. Thank you.

How about using cabosil thickened epoxy for the primer coat, or just as a dealer layer period?

How long did it take to fully cure tack free?

How do you repair the dings in the vinyl bumper strip around the edge of the boat?

Has anyone used peel ply on their layups?

Great video. Very thorough, really shows how important preperation is in fiber glass work.

Camera person is excellent as well

I have watched a lot of videos on boat restoration as I am a first timer doing it and I am using west systems products. THANK YOU for explaining these so well. I look forward to all your other videos. You do an Excellent job.

Long videos are the way to go, I appreciate the library of content. I have a lot of chips in the same area of my boat. I'm excited to take a week off work to try to restore the gel coat at some point.

This is awesome stuff. I've been rebuilding an old boat and I have used quite a bit of these stuff for bonding and filling. Worked great. Makes me feel proud of my work so far. I watch your videos on a regular, helps me a lot with my work. Commenting from Barbuda in the caribbean.

The master at work, I love your videos, I am learning so much with each, priceless.

I’m a new subscriber. I do high end body work and paint that dabbles in composites heavily. Setting up my shop for vacuum infusions and mold making for carbon parts for cars. The composite market has grown crazy expensive at the vendors that’s I’ve used. But your discount code at fiberglass warehouse has made it affordable especially with the free shipping even to Michigan. Love the channel so far. Looking forward to seeing more.

can you add on top of a wax coat if you didn't get the coverage you expected?

As a hobbyist that has built a couple of boats I can't get enough of your videos. I have learned so many things that I know I can confidently apply to my next build. Next time I'm vacationing in Gulf Shores I plan looking your place up and patronizing your boat expeditions. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge .

Love the content! Also a great idea to follow along with you on some fishing trips and boat maintenance.

Captain Joe, if you're applying a laminating resin and fiberglass mat over an already gel coated surface that is many months or years old i.e. fully cured, would you sand the gel coat to create a keyed surface for mechanical adhesion of the new resin, or would you remove the gel coat entirely and take the surface back to the last layer of mat and resin? Basically, is it necessary to remove the gel coat or is roughing it up with 60 or 80 grit sufficient to get a good bond? I would think that leaving the gel coat on would result in three failure interfaces whereas removing the gel coat only creates one. Thanks so much for any help.

👍

Let's work out a trade, I'll come down there and fix that roof for a little fishing! 😂 Great content as always guys.

Nice back rest! Also nice with the material list, unfortunately most of it is not available for us here in Europe and Amazon "Similar products" are way off when asking. Is there some other way that you know of to get to know good material available here on the other side of the pond they call the Atlantic Ocean? ;-)

What gel coat coat should I get? I’ve never done this before. But your video is very helpful and informative White without Wax Or With Wax? I’m wanting to work on my 2000 chaparral sunseta

Thanks for the great videos. I like how you explain in good detail for us new gel coat repairs. Thanks😁

What did the most finally weight? So rad !

Hey great videos can you do one replacing a transom and stringers actually in a boat

from what i saw on UA-cam, this is the Reference DIY guide to make excellent work. Much appreciated.

👍

👍

One of the many things I learnt is that yes after catalysing you need to get a move on, but you don’t need to panic 😄

Build it everyone will build along

If you remove a stringer from your boat, can it be adhered to the hull with 3m 5200 Marine adhesive/sealant or should I make a paste with fiberglass resin? (prior to glassing around it)

Very helpful! All my preconceptions about how fiberglass was laid was wrong. Inspired to diy some myself now on a camper build

Do you mind advising what foam type you used, I’ve replayed 1 and 2 and can’t see it mentioned. Loving this series and now more vids posted on the next project, very much appreciated

Why add filler to the small scratches?

Nice detailed video thanks

Very nice tutorial. Thank you.

Hello Captain Joe I like watching your videos but my question is what kind of fiberglass cloth is work with foam board I try to build my own kayak

If the base ware super smooth would you see the roller marks or does the gel coat become smooth as on ”new” boats

Good Job Captain!!

Thanks Joe, What do you recommend to fix cracks and reseal a rudder and trailerable/removable keep both made of wood?

I'm watching from Canada

Where are you located at I have a ranger bass boat that needs the top cap regel coated it has metal flake in it it’s called black cherry is the color I sanded it much it started turning silver

Can u make a video of metal flake gel coat

When sanding, does it start getting “easier” or whatever? Basically when sanding how do you know if your through the oxidation? Do you look at the color of the water coming off?

If I missed it I’m sorry, why now wax on every coat, will the additional coats not stick?

I feel your info is very important to the overall project--you folks appear to do Custom boatbuilding rather than Production building--therin lies the fact that you are giving out more information to do a much more thorough job than a production shop that cuts so many corners to Get The Product Out the Door! But as you have stated , your videos are longer--because there is so much more information. I tend to demonstrate the same problem in trying to teach the skills necessary. Not wanting to lose the Attention Span of the student/viewer is the Challenge. Good Videos!-----Mikey, Belfair, Wa
