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

Re: FS14 build in Ecuador
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 .

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.fjapa wrote:Are they foam or what kind of material they are made of? Do they have a cardboard core?

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

Re: FS14 build in Ecuador
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:
