The experienced builder will reduce the need for fairing and sanding with clean fiberglass laminations and the use of plastic sheets or peel ply on the last layer. In a nutshell: 1. Fair hull shape 2. Prepare surface 3. Paint or varnish - Reduce the need for sanding with a sheet of plastic or peel ply on the last fiberglass layer - Use a resin slurry to fill imperfections if any - Switch as soon as possible to a high build primer. Those thick paint primers sometimes named sanding primers are easy to sand. Build a small boat first: it is easier to make mistakes and fair a canoe than a 22’ boat. |
