Since watching his videos I have pulled my Savage off the road and have been playing with fibreglass myself. Its a great product to play with, you can make all sorts of stuff. I will post picks of my new project soon

Okay,, now Im all mad at you guys.. Yea,, I messed up, I WENT there,, now Im stuck,,
Coupla things Ive noticed.

I see why he works alone, no one can stay outta his way. He must drink those 5 hour energy drinks or sumpthin..

YOu guys notice the bench in the BG? 3 tubs or small barrels, trash cans maybe? Laid down & stuck in,, Man,, pretty good materiel storage,

ETA

Too long on the GO button w/o letting the starter cool.
Id use ether to get it fired.
& He has an Extinguisher handy,, I set 2 out any time Im using the torch or welding, or doing anything like what he is doing,, I set them up away from the work area, just a little ways, along the line of retreat.
I know human nature, see a fire, back up, so, set extinguishers up along any line of retreat from the work area,

Again, ETA

Did you see the GACK in the carbs? Wow..

Reply #35 - 05/12/14 at 17:46:19 When Im watching a movie I look away from the main scenes very often.. I look for details,, Ive been "looking away" from the main stuff for decades. Thats how I catch the details,,

FYI, any REAL boat supply shop is going to have gel coat kits and fuel safe resins... don't buy the generic hardware store or big box chain junk.

Gel coat kits: http://www.westmarine.com/gelcoat-repair-kits

Glass and resin: http://www.westmarine.com/resins-fiberglass

That's just one source for DIY hull and tank repair supplies, there are dozens of others.
