Yesterday was a brillant day here in Tacoma, WA, so I spent it laminating the outside of the hull. Since it was still a little cool in the morning, I placed a couple space heaters under the hull to warm up the plywood panels. After mixing my first batch of epoxy, it was a little too thick, I warmed up the jugs with the heaters too. In all, the work went smoothly and I'm very pleased with the results.
I spent about 1.5 hours getting everything prepared; putting down plastic, wiping down the hull with acetone where epoxy had already been applied, gathering supplies, etc... Working on my own, it took me about 1-3/4 hours to laminate the first side. Then I waited for the epoxy to harden enough so the cloth on the opposite half wouldn't stick too badly at the overlap. I think the second half took about 2 hours to laminate. I found this half to be a little more difficult because the overlap being tacky and not allowing the cloth to flow as well. Once complete, I applied a filler coat of epoxy. I used about 240 oz of epoxy to do it all.
To laminate, I placed the FG cloth for one side on the dry hull (I didn't saturate the plywood panels first). Then mixed up 12 oz of epoxy and poured on to a local area of the hull and spread it with a 7" paint roller. Then went over it with a squeegee. I started at the transom and working forward one section at a time. If a previously done sections looked light on epoxy, I'd roll on some more.
Here's a few pictures of the results:
