I started fiberglassing the hull of my guillemot today, and now have it seal coated and the fiberglass wet out. I used the foam roller method described by Rob Macks and George Roberts in recent posts, and all is going well. The only problem was mixing up too big of a batch of fast hardener epoxy for the seal coat and it started to set up before I could squeegee it completely. Oh well, lesson learned.
Any way, what I am wondering about is this. Instead of putting an abrasion patch below the waterline, a bias strip on the stems, and then seam tape when I join the hull and deck, why can't I just put a complete second layer of fiberglass over the entire hull and overlap the hull/deck joint by an inch when they are joined? Seems like it might look better and be less work than feathering all those edges.
