Step 3 - Laminate

Once dried, the entire hull is skim ground to remove any surface contamination and is again washed with fresh water. A minimum of 2 layers of chopped strand mat are applied by hand using our own Derakane Vinylester resin. The glass matt is bristle rolled and special care is taken to remove all the air in the new laminate.

The 2 new layers of glass not only builds back strength that was lost due to the osmosis in the hull, but is the first barrier protection against the reoccurrence of osmosis.
