Default RE: Sterling 48

I covered the bottom of the hull with ¾ ounce fiberglass cloth and some more Finishing Resin. The cloth was placed flat on the bottom and smoothed out. The resin was brushed on with an acid brush. It was then spread evenly with one of those small high density foam rollers. The good old sun accelerated the curing time. The excess was sanded off. The stained surfaces were protected with two types of tape in preparation to coating the sides. The main barrier is Scotch Fine Line tape. It is translucent green in color and is available from the auto paint stores. The blue tape is the regular painter’s low tack tape. The coating process was repeated on the sides. I’m just about through the second set of resin for this build.
