Good morning! I love this forum for the very replies posted above. I have been here a year or so but I post very little, the attention and time you guys give to advice and opinions is second to none. I have a bit to take in here and some more study, but I wanted to thank EVERYONE for their replies. ...

Cheers Mate, I just needed to look further down the process. Awesome.

Good morning all! I want to make the below modification to my Panga 20 build. I have several reasons for this mod but most importantly for easier bow access which is the preferred method of loading boats here in the Philippines.

Well, we got some decent weather allowing me to get a couple o 300 x 300mm samples down on a piece of standard ply - no marine ply on hand as yet. Here are my observations. Epoxy: West Systems 105 with 206 Hardener. Cutting: The glass cut beautifully with my Fiskers HD Circular cloth cutter. No issu...

Hi Team, I got a couple of samples of Anodised Fibreglass this morning. This is NOT Carbon Fiber but Fibreglass that has been charged and anodised with Aluminium powder. From what I can tell from handling the cloth (300gsm) is that feels slightly stiffer and because of this it lays down on a flat su...
