Fiberglassing a Dumas Chris Craft boat?

[Mrfish55]

Seal the hull with one coat of resin first(glass resin or West System epoxy) then when that is set cover it with 3/4 oz cloth ( not matt) and another coat of resin. What system you use will determine the whole process, west system epoxy is stronger and clearer, but given the scale of the model regular fiberglass resin will work, you will not be putting it on thick enough to notice any significant yellowing, the fiberglass cloth becomes invisible once saturated with resin but as was already mentioned be carefull not to sand into it or it will show, also IMO regular resin is easier to work with than the West epoxy, One other thing if you do go with regular fiberglass resin make sure you get unwaxed resin. Temperature and humidity will affect setting times so make sure to accurately measure the resin and catalyst, makes a big difference to how it sets. Nice boat, good luck with the project.
