RE: Steam Pickett from plans
This is the way it has gone so far, first of all, I am no Pat Tritle. I cut 2oz cloth into four pices and the last pice was to large and did not conform, so when I put it on I had problems, I pulled it all off and gave the hull 4 coats of epoxy resin about 3 hours apart, sanded this later on, and decided I would try again. I went to the hobbie store for more 2oz cloth and found 3/4oz, but this seemed too light, I want a strong boat, Our lake has some bad drivers, I got some more 2oz, and this time cut it into 9 pices. The weather was a little cold, so I could not work for a few days and I had some 5oz, yes five ounce cloth. Because when I cut the 2oz into many pices it layed much, much, better I gave the 5oz a chance and it worked, Note the hull is large and does not have many tricky turns, I will take pictures later.
