Hello Captain Joe I like watching your videos but my question is what kind of fiberglass cloth is work with foam board I try to build my own kayak

If the base ware super smooth would you see the roller marks or does the gel coat become smooth as on ”new” boats

Good Job Captain!!

Thanks Joe, What do you recommend to fix cracks and reseal a rudder and trailerable/removable keep both made of wood?

I'm watching from Canada

Where are you located at I have a ranger bass boat that needs the top cap regel coated it has metal flake in it it’s called black cherry is the color I sanded it much it started turning silver

Can u make a video of metal flake gel coat

When sanding, does it start getting “easier” or whatever? Basically when sanding how do you know if your through the oxidation? Do you look at the color of the water coming off?

If I missed it I’m sorry, why now wax on every coat, will the additional coats not stick?

I feel your info is very important to the overall project--you folks appear to do Custom boatbuilding rather than Production building--therin lies the fact that you are giving out more information to do a much more thorough job than a production shop that cuts so many corners to Get The Product Out the Door! But as you have stated , your videos are longer--because there is so much more information. I tend to demonstrate the same problem in trying to teach the skills necessary. Not wanting to lose the Attention Span of the student/viewer is the Challenge. Good Videos!-----Mikey, Belfair, Wa

Beautiful work.

Fish Bump videos are GREAT. Yet .... small detail like how long should the last coat of fiberglass/resin cure before applying gelcoat.

Why add the wax ? Not just the hardener

Curious on the vinylester vs iso polyester shrinkage as I generally use either iso poly or epoxy. Post cure I find iso polyester leaves considerable fibre print through.

Hey Captain Joe, Awesome tutorial! How do I order the correct color Gel Coat? I have a 2004 Wellcraft 29CCF, I see White and Neutral but you pulled straight out of a can and it matches perfectly! Thanks Much Again from the West Coast down in the corner near San Diego.

Is what you are holding Fiberglass? Doesn't it require protective equipment?

Capt. Joe, thanks for another great video. Hope your fishing charter went well and the extra seating came in handy

What kind of foam is that? Doesn't polyester resin eat Styrofoam?

Great Video. Thank you

Thank you! I love the knowledge and expertise you bring to it!

The LEGEND of Captain JOE continues! Great addition to both the channel and the 29'r. I actually want to add some type of jump seat to my small 18ft CC. I think this could be the answer! As always, keep it up CAP!

Thank you. I’ll be gel coating the under side of my center console in August. It has some scrapes along the V on the underside.

I really enjoy your videos,,, thanks Captain..

This video is exactly what I needed to see for a center console project I'm working on. Just when I thought I had all I needed it seems that EVERCOAT Formla 27 is in my future, along with one of the 3M respirators. Perhaps I missed it but I don't see a link to the EVERCOAT. Thanks for another awesome video and can't wait to see more. I love this channel. ☺

Another excellent video for all of us novices! What happens to the plug now? Does it go into storage in the event that you need to make a new mold?

When you are spraying your mold for the boat do you start with waxed gel coat and then do your next 4-5 coats with non wax?

Hey Joe , nice job with that seat back , I like seeinag you work with off the shelve products. So much better consistency that making up your putty on the spot! FYI my understanding was that even the ‘No wax’ gelcoat or resin products have minimal % of wax/air dry in them. True no wax resin is not made for hand layup etc. Cheers Warren

Thanks, you definitely help me done my own jet ski repair.

Hi. Do U have expirience on applaying fiberglass mat on natural hard wood boats?

This has been super helpful, great video! I do have a couple questions: 1) you said don't do this in the sun, what about the heat? It's summer in Phoenix which means the low is 88 degrees, and heats up really quickly? I'd prefer to do the resurface in the winter/spring but I've got a big trip coming up and I'd like to restore the boat. 2) Any recommendations on corners, edges, angles, or tight surfaces surrounded by 3d letters? So far I've just used small attachments on my drill that can reach smaller spaces. Thanks!!!

Great addition to the boat.

Wondering if you have a video on single side below waterline fiberglass repair?

so if I was to roll and tip, sand wet sand. To make it glossy would compound and wax, correct? When sprayed in a mold it comes out with a good gloss though, correct? Thanks great video

Capt. Joe, thanks for these great videos. I looked through the videos because I’m looking for technique to repair diamond shaped (not sure the correct name) non-skid on the deck of our ‘89 Island Packet. I think a previous owner left something like a dirty fender on the deck for a long time which rolled back and forth until it rubbed through some of the gelcoat. You can actually see some of the laminate where it wore down the tip of the non-skid feature. I’d like to match the non-skid pattern on the damaged areas if I can. Thanks again for a great boat DIY channel.

Thanks Again For A Well Done Educational Video!

I'm hoping to see some snook fishing soon. I haven't been fishing in Florida in over 20 years. Used to live in Port Orange. Used to fish around mosquito lagoon with my Key West for reds. Miss it terribly.

What a school to watch this teacher!

Hello! I’m new to the channel. I found you cause am looking for tips for boat building. I’m just 22 years old and am very excited about that craft. I would kindly ask is there any suggestions on books for boat builders? Thanks in advance !

Catch a big one Joe

What exactly does the Orca air dry help to do?

How long do i need to wait to tje polyster resin cure on a project before i gelcoat it? Because I read and hear people saying that you need to wait weeks before gelcoating it. I’m new to this and want to learn from the professionals.

Love watching from Australia, redoing a cabin roof, 😊😊

Have really enjoyed watching you do this project. Didn't realize how much work goes into building a mold.. would love to see a fishing trip

Great video. Your channel helps me a lot as a new beginner boat owner. Greating from Båstad in Norway.

This is a great educational video. It also helps the people that are only paying someone else to do the work to have an appreciation of the labor involved.

Excellent!

Forgive me if my comment seems crazy. When you applied the black powder to identify and locate the low spots it seems that you would want to sand the places that are high and stay out of the low places? The quality of your workmanship is outstanding and you clearly know what you are doing. As a cabinet maker and machinist it seems if you are trying to create a flat uniform surface you work towards bringing everything to the lowest point. Did I miss something? You videos are excellent. Thank you.

What an excellent idea, you are an absolute genius👍🇦🇺

If you do tipping. Do you do it on every layer or only the final coat? Love your content.

Did you use the same brush both times for the Gel coat, if so, what did you use to clean the brush, or is it a new brush each time?
