The Bolger Diablo
Outboard Utility, Page 4
This view shows the hull flipped over again, with her outer seams taped and a sealing coat of epoxy applied. The sealing coat is essential to getting a good bond of the fiberglass sheathing to the hull and helping to get a smooth finish after glassing.
Once the tape and sealing coat were applied, the boat was sanded - lightly on the sealing coat - to get it ready for glassing. The shiny spot on the bottom aft shows where sanding is still needed.
After sanding, it's time for glassing. I used two pieces of 50" wide 10 oz. cloth and squeegeed the epoxy into the cloth. She'll get two or more additional coats of epoxy applied with a roller to finish filling the weave of the cloth before another round of dreaded sanding.
