Hey Joe, I wanted to share that I fully restored my 1983 Wellcraft V20 in 2007-2008. During the process, I replaced all the wood in the hull. Your videos would have been incredibly helpful back then; I had to self-educate through countless hours of research. Your content is truly invaluable. Thank you!

Rookie here: It is my understanding that "mat" does not work well with epoxy due to the binders in the mat; therefore, can 1708, which does work well with epoxy (?), be used exclusively without applying the mat as a base? I'm preparing to install a reinforcement transom in an old I/O that I'm transitioning to an outboard motor. I'm using 2-pieces of 3/4" plywood for the project and will combine that with the transom already in place....the objective is to extend the transom to the bulkhead and pay special attention to glassing-in the transom ends to the fiberglass hull. I've have already ordered 90-feet x 50" of 1708 and a couple of gallons of "Total Boat" epoxy and slow hardener. I'm in SW Florida and the temps here are now in the mid to upper 80's during the day - humid. It is good protocol to use 1708 exclusively with the epoxy to both seal the plywood transom, add strength and integrity to the wood while also feathering the 1708 to the fiberglass inner hull to counter the forces of the motor on the transom? I'm a little confused concerning the application of mat or strand, which requires a polyester resin (?) and 1708 which works with epoxy for strength. Thank you for your help...much appreciated. Your videos are invaluable.

I believed it should be noted that you cannot used CSM with epoxy because it is held together with styrene but you can use 1708 because it is stich no styrene. 🙂

Ok I will try to make this as short as possible. I am working a Stratos late 80's and they used mostly woven-roven on stringers and I think that is where a lot of failures come from because of where it is woven seems that it created holes that water could get through and the quality of the fiberglassing was poor. In your professional opinion which I value highly! how many layers of 1708 would you use to equal woven-roven on the stringers and other places that they have used it. I want to use only 1708 and chopped strand. My stringers are so bad that there is just a skeleton of fiberglass with a few chunks of wood in the bottom of them. I will use all of the techniques I have learned from you to make this boat better than it ever was. I will be using only Coosa board for it. To sum it all up I think you have the best boat repair DIY videos on KZfaq and I commend you for starting this channel. Thanks so much and have a great day!

Is what you are holding Fiberglass? Doesn't it require protective equipment?

@user-ty3ry9jp4s

Content suggestion - I would like to see how to mix your own putty and fillers using polyester and silica and/or glass balloons, fibre cut offs or what nots. I am a bit confused with all the ready made products with brands and product names. Please explain in depth how to use the different additives and when. That would really be of great help.

@zacharymarkley2290

You have consistently put out some the most useful videos….thoroughly enjoyed your series on building the 29 ft bay boat, but this informational videos are invaluable as I tackle repairs on my boat

@jameswalsh2433

please break down the cost comparison between mat and 1730 including the strength vs cost of resin . I am sure that in your business, the performance vs the cost comes into play. please note that less resin is more strength per pound of product. The strongest layups are vacuum bagged to minimize resin.

Where or how would you recommend me getting a significant portion of material in a cost effective way to rebuild a 17ft boat?

@Anthony-lk5dm

I remember you saying not to use CSM with epoxy, so for my little boat project, what should I start with? So far I have the plywood shell and tomorrow I buy the epoxy and fibre glass. What's your recommendation? I need this thing really durable really water proof

@denjhill

Yes, you did a great job! Explanations are thorough without unnecessary blather. Demonstrations are complete in showing exactly what to do. Best fiberglass channel on the web.
