Fiberglassing the Hull

 Diagonally draping the fiberglass cloth over the hull takes some adjusting. Getting the fiberglass to fold over the bow and stern takes some careful cutting. 

I had help the next day for applying the epoxy. Good thing. We discovered the fiberglass liked to slide around as we stroked on the epoxy with the squeegee. A moment of panic when we discovered the fiberglass has slid up so that one side was not covered.  A better approach would have been to pat the epoxy into the fiberglass. Check out the Timber Boatworks YouTube videos to refine your epoxy application technique.
