In Response To: Why an end pore? (John Monfoe)

: When I am ready to fiberglass the inside of my haul I am planning on mixing
: 1/4" chopped fiberglass into a paste and troweling it for a foot or
: two along the ends with a 1 1/2" radius tool. It seems so easy to do
: while everything is wide open and the chopped glass will give it great
: strength. Am I missing something that a boat standing on end and pored
: would give?

: John

I haven't done an end pour but my guess is you may not have a very good fit between hull and deck unless they are already together when everything gets
very rigid. Nothing is going to move once you get that much epoxy in there.
