Fiberglassing the deck






The fiberglass is laid over the deck and is trimmed with an overhang of a couple of inches. If I have the time I will let the fiberglass sit over the kayak for a couple of hours or overnight to help relax it. To avoid bubbles forming its best to do the fiberglass/epoxy pour during falling temperatures.  This usually means that I was pouring the epoxy when it was 95 degress and 95 percent humidity.  The high temps required me to work fast to avoid a quick epoxy setup.  Also I use a chip brush lightly to remove wringles and folds before pouring epoxy.  Its finally coming together now.
