TOPIC: Glastron update

Glastron update 14 years 1 month ago #3690

Transom, floors & seat base are all glassed back in. A little more glass work to be done around battery hold down & the "ears" of the transom now that the deck is fitted. Then it's ready for gel coat on the inside. Now it's time to tackle the underside of the deck, which has quite the sag.

What kind of resin did you use?

I used structural epoxy for bonding the wood to glass, & polyester resin ( Isophathalic, unwaxed) for the cloth. Also called tooling resin.

Been a while since I've posted, the Glastron is almost completed.

BB, it looks like it just rolled out of the dealer's showroom, maybe even better. Great job!

Were going to the Hastings show in August, you should bring that beauty there ? Sounds like a good time they have a 2 hour run up the river in the afternoon.
