Big fiberglass repairs have been one of those jobs that has just always scared us. It’s not something we’ve had to tackle often so perhaps it was the fear of the unknown or fear of screwing something up worse than it was before.
But… you can only put off learning something for so long!
As part of our ongoing refit, Amy tackles a big project in the shower. She has to remove a shower cubby, make a fiberglass backing plate to fill in the hole, add fiberglass layers, smooth out fairing compound and color match the gelcoat. Talk about jumping in the deep end!
A HUGE thanks to Total Boat for helping us out with all the supplies and Andy with BoatworksToday for the inspiration!
