Why not tint with with US composite tints?

I use the white all the time and have used black when doing carbon fiber repairs for cosmetic purpose.

You did not say what size sea craft? I would raise the floor 2 inches

on a 20 sea craft. If you go higher you will have little free board from the floor to the gunnel.

There is nothing wrong with using 1708 in-between but you should have mat on both

sides of the 1708. I know that putting glass in-between cores is a very good way to make a core even better. That is a fact. Te problem is that you were not set up to do the job in a timely manner. I...

Bruce, It is the garlington mold that they have. I think they also have the conc27

mold. I believe they only have molds to the uppers on the sea craft stuff and people have to bring them an old hull to be done over. I do not know why they don't have a hull mold? Everyone else has...

Are they marine grade copper elbos? And probably soldered joints under

the rubber vent hose? I know you will make it all good jim. Aluminum and salt water are almost as compatible as plywood and balsa with wet conditions. Boats do not get wet do they?

Not sure what percent of resin ratio you are trying for? Be careful.
