In Response To: Epoxy coat before fiberglass (Kris Gabrielson)

Take some consolation that these mistakes are on the inside -- you will find the cloth will lay down MUCH more nicely on the outside. The cloth will be easy to saturate with epoxy and squeegee out. Your problem on the inside of the hull is common. The cloth wants to pull away from a concave surface, especially in the narrow parts of the bow and stern. Dean
