Panga 20 Build

[FluidDynamic]

Might do that next time I come that way. Did some fishing in the river. Caught a dozen redfish all under size and a dozen specks also under sized. Still a fun trip. We usually come once a year during summer to scallop.

Still too cold most of this week to epoxy except Tuesday and Wednesday which I will be out of town for work. Can't wait to get these bottom panels done.

[FluidDynamic]

I put the bottom panels on today and I'm cutting the side panels.

[FluidDynamic]

I ran out of 12 oz biaxial fiberglass tape. I'm going to order more, but I would like to finish the back side of the side panels. Currently, I have one side taped with the 12 oz. West Marine has 17 oz biaxial tape. Would this be okay for one side of the side panels so I can stitch the bottom and side panels this weekend?

I would use the 17 oz tape and move ahead. your Panga is looking good.

[FluidDynamic]

I couldn't find the 17 oz. Can I use 2 layers of 6 oz woven?

[Fuzz]

I think that will work to let you move ahead. It might not as strong but most things on these boats are way stronger than what is needed.

No. Woven is entirely different. Different glass directions, too.

It is not right.

Order the 12oz from here and you will have it by WED a short delay is not the end of the world, don't use the woven.

[FluidDynamic]

It's actually 9 oz woven. Trying to figure out away to get by until I get some more biaxial. I don't want to wait a week. One side has biaxial already.
