In Response To: Fiberglass help! Nick or ? (Scott E. Davis)

: I glassed the hull with a full layer and a below waterline layer. When I
: scraped the edge of the below waterline layer, strings of fiberglass were
: partially pulled down the face of the single layer of glass. Is this a
: problem? What do I do? The strings look bad but will they be invisible as
: I continue? The strings are up to 3 inches long and extend from the chine
: toward the shear line. Thanks - Scott E.

Scott, Newfound woodworks has an excellent video on the mystery of fiberglassing. that and a little patience and you will be fine.

Keeb building, Elliott
