It is about an 2 component epoxy, which is made 100 Percent of biological ingridients. I found a short article in english. https://www...

Re: epoxy question

I have been lucky so far and most of the epoxy-work is done. Most of the time I wear longsleeve, but when it gets too hot only t-shirt. I use gloves, but I still manage to get epoxy on my hands. I use soap with woodpowder to get rid of it. It's not perfect, but it scrups most of it. I had a serious ...

Re: Roman´s OB15 (First Time Builder)

Well, spring is finally here. But the covid-situation is not getting any better. Since the boat is at my parents in law, there will be no building for some time. They are both 67 years old and getting the boat finished a little faster is not worth the risk of getting them sick. They live in the coun...

Re: Roman´s OB15 (First Time Builder)

Autumn has reached the alps and the temperatures get chilly - no good for working with epoxy. So I took a few days of in the first week of october to make good on the errors, that I made. I began with pulling out the foam at the bulkheads. I tell you, it was no pleasure. The foam is sticky as f... T...

Re: Roman´s OB15 (First Time Builder)

Thank's for the reminder, i was planning to do so anyway, since I will also will have to remove more excess-foam to bring the floor to the right level. And at the bulkheads, it is only a small batch of foam, that has to be removed. So I can glass the bulkheads to the hull and later on also to the fl...

Re: Roman´s OB15 (First Time Builder)

Wow, thank you for the long answer. First the good news: The Gap is aprox 2-3 cm at most. It is at the first layer of the stringer. on the forward section between frame a and b - but nearer to frame b. Sry, I have no picture of it. There were no gaps on the rear part, so the rear stringer should be ...

Re: Roman´s OB15 (First Time Builder)

Ok... How should i proceed. As said, the stringers are glassed. Is it now necessary to remove the foam at the bulkheads? Or will taping the side-parts of the bulkhead and the part where the foam is give enough strengh to the boat?

Re: Roman´s OB15 (First Time Builder)

I glassed the stringers... thought the bulkheads get glassed when the floor is in, since only a small part is under foam. 8O

Re: Roman´s OB15 (First Time Builder)

I could carve out 5 days for the Boat. So it was time for the foam - I bought the one, I´ve shown before. It was not cheap, but delivery was quick. So for all the European builders: you can buy this one from yachtshop24. Before I began with the foam, I put in the frames and the horizontal stringers....
