Re: Panga 20 Build
I put some heat on it last night with a heater. It's now hardened to where I can barely push my finger nail in it. Yesterday, I could push my finger into it and compress it. Cant do that now. Looks like its curing, but taking alot longer than normal. If the mix was off a little, does that effect curing time and final strength.

All frames except the motor well bulkhead are glassed in. After the motorwell, I'll clean up a little and start with the plumbing.

Re: Panga 20 Build
I am at the point to put the sides of the boat on tomorrow. What would you do instead of tabbing with fiberglass? Thanks for letting me hang on to your build! I have been documenting but don't have any experiences different than yours.FluidDynamic wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 7:00 pm Starting to regret tabbing with fiberglass. Sanding is tough. Please tell me when I get to the point I'm using quickfair to fair the hull, it sands easier.

Re: Panga 20 Build
You can just use filets of thickened epoxy. It should hold everything together so you can cut all of the zip ties out. Then you can fill the remaining joints.The fiberglass tabs, increase the amount of fairing. I ended up sanding most of them down which was a pain.

Re: Panga 20 Build
Given the pressure on the PG20 panels though, I'd still think that a patch or two at the bow would help. Especially with Meranti. Okoumes another story. My C17 had a panel pop loose when I got too enthusiastic on planing a radius on the corners. I had to restitch it and used a patch.
I'm not saying don't do it, just proceed with caution.
