Re: Fitz 21 CC Transom Stringer Sole R&R

Yes there is a small pool of resin, but like I said, this was my first attempt at this technic. You just have to do it a few times to get the epoxy rolled out in the right amount. After the fabric has absorbed the epoxy you can always go back and roll out the excess epoxy. I'm no expert, just trying...

Re: Fitz 21 CC Transom Stringer Sole R&R

I'm just going to through this out there for all to consider. I had the opportunity to watch first hand some layup on flat work at an epoxy blenders factory in LA and it appears to me after several uses of this procedure that it works very well for eliminating air bubbles. Very simple to do, just we...

Re: Yet another stringer hack question

I've decided to completely replace the 4 main stringers. They'll be 3/4" thick marine ply made by epoxying two 3/8" thick marine plies together. The stringers are 10' long. Two are about 7" tall and the other two are 3" tall. The stringers and bulkheads will be tabbed down with ...

Re: 1984 IMP Y215SC

Update: Oct 11, 2009 Patched 4 holes outside of hull. Added additional patch to inside of hull before first layer of 17oz biax in cuddy. This stuff really soaks up the epoxy. That 4'x6' piece of cloth used 1 1/2 gals of epoxy. I have another piece about the same size to layup aft of this piece. Time...

Re: 1984 IMP X215SC

Thanks shine. I will be going with new cloth and epoxy to build up the hull. You mentioned "(you just laminate several layers of heavy Biax down until you reach you desired hull thickness)". Are you suggesting I add Biax and epoxy up to the original level which was something in the neighbo...

Re: 1984 IMP X215SC

As I get further into the tear down I discover new and even more odd items. As the picture hopefully will show, I have uncovered some interesting boat building materials other seamen have tried to use. It appears that during one of the two sole repairs much of the balsa material the factory used was...

Re: 1984 IMP X215SC

I'm bad - miss typed the model number in my first post. It is a IMP X215SC cuddy cabin. This is my first rebuild update Aug. 09, 2009. Started removing everything down to the hull. Big job here. The manufacture, after laying up the hull, added end grain balsa core material. This layer of balsa mater...
