In Response To: Re: About to Fiberglass a Stripper 1st time *Pic* (Rob Macks)

Funny how sometimes things happen just at the right time. I finished sanding my Merganser and am getting ready to glass. I had toyed with the idea of adding reinforment firts, letting it cure, feathering it, and then applying the final layer of glass. After reading these posts I have decided against it. I'll put on the 4oz layer of glass, and then decide if I should add reinforcement along the bottom. Thanks for all the input, and thanks for asking some great questions.
By the way, does anyone have an opinion on how long it should take to wet out a hull...I'm trying to figure out when to do this. For a first try, can this be accomplished in an evening?

Thanks,
Angela
