: I'm finally ready to glass the hull on my kayak, but have a quick
: question. I was planning on putting a seal coat of epoxy on the
: bare wood prior to glassing to avoid the wood soaking up too
: much resin during wet out of the glass. For this method, do you
: need to let the seal coat completely cure and sand prior to
: glassing? I've never done this before, but it seems if I tried
: to lay the glass after the seal coat is tacky, it wouldn't work
: so well to get it spread out nice and flat. Any advice?
The curing process is longer than you think. After an overnight "dry" the resin will be cured enough to not be sticky but will still bond to the new resin applied.
