Hi Spidey,
The day before wetting out my hull I tried various methods of applying epoxy and fiberglass on some scrap plywood (foam roller, brush, and pour and squeegee). I had no one to show me how and have never done any fiberglassing before. The foam roller gave me the best results. It was easier and took less time to do the entire hull than to install a single full length stapleless cedar strip using rolling bevel.
