fiberglass question

[millwright1]

I just built a layout boat and used evercoat everfix resin right over foam.

Yeah, I'd like to see pics too. Was it epoxy resin? What kind of foam? Did you leave the foam in the boat ?

Oh, and

[millwright1]

It is epoxy resin and the foam is home insulation.

So I've been working on a top secret project with my brother and we've hit a wall. We built a layout mold out of foam because it was free and easy to shape. The plan was to wrap it in plastic and fiberglass over it one half at a time and stick them together. We've done it before on a kayak project, but the mold was wood with a good coat of wax to keep the glass from sticking.

So we finished shaping the foam yesterday and covered it in shrink wrap (it was a thick blue plastic used to wrap and protect boats.) When we started rolling on the resin, the plastic started warping and bubbling. There is no way we can use that stuff.

Does anyone know of a plastic sheet that could stand up to fiberglass resin? We tested that clear vapor barrier used in construction, it might work. Any ideas?

Hello,You could use aluminum foil.......it will take a little more time to cure but it will work like the milar

It was not my intention to start off on the wrong foot......I find it a little strange how some people just need to shoot there mouth off...when a new member joins a site..iam a commercial fishermen and boat builder by trade.....I probably have done more fiberglass jobs then he has hair on his head......thanks ....great site

That's probably true, Tiller only knows how to till soil...

Don't worry about it, its not a big deal. Tiler is a good guy and I'm sure he was just playing. As a commercial fishermen I'm sure you are used to rookie hazing, and I'd find it hard to believe that you can't take a joke. Stick around its a fun place to be.

Thanks man! And welcome to the site. What we ended up doing worked, but I've given up on plastic or covering the mold. We just bught two layouts tonight for 500$ that we can use until I can cover the mold with wood and do this thing justice.

You might want to use that peanut butter jar for decoration purposes only once boot has had his way with it.
