In Response To: Epoxy: Precoating the Panels (Julie)

: When I recieved my epoxy from Raka they included an instruction
: pamphlet on how to epoxy fiberglass the wood.
: It states that doing a precoat of epoxy on the wood then
: laying down the cloth with more resin is the correct procedure.

: Can I get comments on this??

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for your input (2 cents).
I feel rich! (hehe)
Given all the various ways of going about
this process it seems to me that
stitching the panaels together first to pre-tension
them, then precoating a slightly thined or warmed coat
with a roller would be a good way to go.
I don't plan on staining and all my wire holes are already
drilled.
