In Response To: Fibreglass outside hull (Jonathan Hirsch)

: I have noticed most builders put the outside hull fibreglass onto the plywood
: without first sealing the plywood with epoxy. Is this the recommended way
: of doing it.

Jonathan,

I believe there are advantages and disadvantages to either approach. I built two Pygmy kits, and as I recall, their procedures call for the "pre-coat" approach. They have a lot more experience than I, so I tend to trust them on basic procedures like this.
