It doesn't work with epoxy, you have to use woven cloth. <br />That is a great rule of thumb 1oz cloth=1kg per sqm laminate. <br />AndrewAyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09180898162811557837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638765920957629245.post-84783291170940294992014-06-02T12:54:48.171+10:002014-06-02T12:54:48.171+10:00Ross

Mo...Ross<br /><br />Greetings from Perth, Western Australia.<br /><br />Most interesting Annapolis Wherry design and photo sequence. Rowin g performance ++!<br /><br />The internal photo appears to have the glass definition crossed. I expect you were using the industry standard 2 ox, 600 gsm chopped strand mat. This may clarify for other readers.<br /><br />A related fact, for weights.<br /><br />If you allow for a typical 2.5:1 resin/glass ratio, 300 gsm glass becomes 1050 gsm total laminate. Thus you can think 1 kg/m^2 of laminate per 1 oz (300 gsm) of glass. Nice easy number!<br /><br />Peter Edmonds<br />edmonds@ausstep.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638765920957629245.post-29634435203006191112013-08-27T07:20:04.379+10:002013-08-27T07:20:04.379+10:00Hello Ross.

Mahogany planking with conventional browing off and rebated hood ends, but no fastenings and no bent timbers. Seven planks per side and only one pair per day. (before the days of Epoxy of course)<br />Coinsidently I am at present developing a glued clinker ply Solent Scow, similar to your "lap stitch" but without stitches. I'm using fine guage screws tabbed between with epoxy and tape. and fully taped when screws are removed.<br />Turn over and fill lands after. Intention is to market full size patterns, photos and instructions.<br />Best regards,<br />John.John Sheennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638765920957629245.post-31346054562229522282012-12-24T18:41:10.089+10:002012-12-24T18:41:10.089+10:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02446794228675097250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638765920957629245.post-3772790878835107132012-08-31T08:30:25.844+10:002012-08-31T08:30:25.844+10:00Graham,

Like you, I'll stick with the proper methods.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />RossRoss Lillistonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04365414347565560334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638765920957629245.post-67433644596664428822012-08-31T05:35:39.313+10:002012-08-31T05:35:39.313+10:00Hi Ross,

I'm just back from a Dinghy Cruising Association Camping and Sailing Week in Chichester Harbour UK. Great fun. <br /><br />I also agree about clinker ply, I've built two stitch and tape canoes and two Clinker Ply dinghies, and had wondered whether there was a hybrid method similar to the one you describe, but seeing your comments I'll take Clinker Ply anytime. <br />Best Regards <br />GrahamGraham Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799325184475918080noreply@blogger.com
