Looking for some input on the hull layup. Last year I built the Guillemot, I liked it so much that I'm presently building a stretched guillemot, taking it to 19 feet. LAst year I used the standard layup. I found it very time consuming to fair out the edge of the second layer of glass on the hull as well as the seam tape on the outside. I'm about a week from starting the glassing process, tonight as i finishe the deck, A novel idea struck me. perhaps that is all it is. proceed in the following sequence, glass the outer hull and deck, next glass the inner hull and deck. Apply the inner seam tape,both layers, this will be a mechanical bond. Apply the first layer of outer seam tape, again a mechanical bond. Now apply the second layer of glass on the hull and bring that 1 1/2" to 2" past the sheerline. Next, fair out a single edge on each side, major epoxy work done. However, the second layer is only a mechanical bond. What do all you guys/gals think? mechanical vs chemical bond.
