Ok will do, thank you!

Any recs on ways to stress test other than just banging with a soft hammer or bend the panels a good bit back and forth?

And regarding transom, I actually did pre—coat it before I glued the three pieces together (not sure if that is what you’re referring to or not).

Thanks for your comments! I saw you said all wood needs to be pre coated with expoxy before filleting. Being a rookie, i did not do that so all the joints/seams of the hull panels are filleted together but not pre-coated.

Sounds good, and agree will def get a coat on there.

I noticed that it was possibly vaporizing a tiny bit and forming this crust around the spout of the plunger and then accumulating and falling to the ground. My question, is...

Thanks!! very helpful

Thanks, will do.

Does setting the boat out in the sun work as well? any issues from UV damage i should be worried about?

Hey, quick question, i accidentally left the lid to the Ez Filet (both part A and B) off for 48hrs. I then laid some filet down last night and noticed it isn't hardening as fast. Maybe because of slightly cooler temps we've had down in Tx last few days but wanted to see those resins need to be cover...
