Fibre Glass

After a number of family crisis, I was able to get back to the boat today.

The problem of which way to lay the fibre glass was my first task to solve. As you can imagine a flat cloth onto a curved surface will always result in lots of folds and creases.

I can either lay it transversely or longitudinally:

Notice I hold the cloth in place with cloths pegs (clothepins) I opted for length wise, cutting the cloth in half and applied epoxy
