Re: Panga 20 Build
Great. Alexseal isn't readily available as EMC. I know someone who rolled and tipped their boat with Alexseal and I couldn't tell that it wasn't sprayed.

But boy, is that stuff expensive!! Makes EMC & AwlGrip look cheap!! Just let me know when you want something priced!! Jeff

That "recent request" was from me lol
It is expensive but I am still leaning toward using alexseal myself. I've been reading good things about their paint but what really is pushing my decision is from this video

Re: Panga 20 Build
Nice video. It kind of reminded me of when I used EMC. I ended up not tipping at all, but then I am no painter and not too critical. EMC says it is also able to be buffed and touched up, but I haven't tried that yet. This stuff is all pricey but a miracle for those of us with no painting experience.

Re: Panga 20 Build
The same guy did an EMC video and it looked like it didn't flatten out like the Alexseal. How did your EMC turn out? That guy is also painting in a controlled environment.

Re: Panga 20 Build
I am having a dilemma. I'm wondering if I should fiberglass my rubrails now and paint or should I wait to put the gunnel cap on over the rubrails and then have one continuous layer of fiberglass. The fiberglass would go over the cap and then go down over the rubrails. I'm afraid of the connection between the cap and the rubrails cracking and separating down the line. The filet in the pic already has a layer of glass over it. Right now, the rubrails has a coat of epoxy on it except the groove. The epoxy was applied with peelply. I just need some help deciding the sequence of construction. I have some fairing still left on that fillet.

Re: Panga 20 Build
Glass now.
Paint.
Flip.
Gunnels.
Glass to glass edge.
Caulk intersection.
You might need to use spray adhesive to keep the glass in the right spot at the end.
What about epifanes 2 part?
Really looked great in my samples.
I'm gonna use it.

I used epifanes clear varnish before on a paddle board. It turned out great. Never thought about the paint. I'll check it out.

Re: Panga 20 Build
I don't understand why you would not have a continuous piece of glass from the rub rail to the gunnel cap? If the gunnel cap over laps the top of the rub rail then lapping the glass past the edge of the cap will help seal the edge of the plywood or am I not understanding correctly?

I think he wants to glass over the gunnel and down onto the hull, but after paint it is tricky to wrap it all the way around the rubrail.OrangeQuest wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 5:48 am I don't understand why you would not have a continuous piece of glass from the rub rail to the gunnel cap?

Here is a sketch of how I'd try with some assumptions about the gunnel/rubrail shape.
Black is now.
Blue is later. Requires masking boat...big deal.
