FS14 build in Ecuador

[Uncle D]

fjapa, you mentioned foam rollers.I believe this is a roller similar to the ones I use which are common short nap that are for adhesives and such. They do a great job of spreading epoxy on the wood. Also, I clean the excess resin off the roller,keep it submerged in acetone in a 5 gal. bucket(roller only) and I an able to reuse time and again. Congrats on the bambino .

It might be that you are using just a little too much. Use just enough so the wood is not dry.

I am stealing all this information from this example boat build. Similar to yours. A little bigger.

No problem TRC... I am always a good listener and I think everyday comes with something to learn
Steve that's a good idea... "pre-wet" the tape... I would never think it can be done that way. I would try doing it but the only problem is space in my shop (it's really a small one )
UncleD I cannot find those rollers you mention. Are they foam or what kind of material they are made of? Do they have a cardboard core?
Thanks to all of you guys for the great ideas.

Can't tell you much more than I've stated before. JM and Joel sell them I'm sure.

Hello guys.
It's been a while I don't post any pic, but I wanted to let you know I am still on my way to finish my project. Geting the materials like resin and fiberglass in my country has been so hard, but I hope to receive the new year fishing some trouts

Looking good!

Finally I launched BUCKY, my FS14 built in Quito, Ecuador. It's been so hard to find materials for the building but after 5 years we did it.

I have come from this:
