The unseasonally warm weather has been ideal for glassing the hull of our Didi 40 Cr. As of this evening just over half of the hull is covered with 425 gram double bias glass and two or three fine days should see the task finished.
I am mixing enough resin for a resin to glass ratio of 1.67 and generally have a tiny amount of resin over. The glass content is 37% and with these properties the thickness should be 0.75 mm. With this amount of resin I can completely wet out the glass and the laminate should provide both structural strength and water proofing for the plywood for years to come.
