1.5 doesn't sound to much given the current weather. You'll soon know tomorrow if there's any white hot spots in the glass
Yeah so I’ve been told. I’ll warm it up tomorrow. At worst I bin it and start over

Here's a tip for ya use good rubber gloves the thick ones that don't tear then buy cheap hair die the clear ones like cellophane ones and put on like 3 pairs over top use as tear offs as you go doing your layup also get large piece of cardboard or plastic and use as layup board 4 litre bucket big 6" brush wet out cloth fast lots of resin then smash it into boat and rollout touch up where necessary

Cheers gultch. Been using a 4” brush. Nitrile gloves (but lots of fibres stuck to them) bristle brush was a god send for wet out.

Just checked the glass before I left for work. Gone hard thankfully. Will trim up tomorrow and bring it inside to warm up 100%

Looks the goods mate.

Taking a couple of days off at the end of the week. With any luck can smash out the stringers this weekend then get it booked in for a fuel tank etc.

Gonna try and get the transom finalised during the week. Will hopefully have the energy to lay up the glass tomorrow haha.

You doing the build atm?

What hull?

Just glassed the top and sides of the transom after trimming it out. Will do other side when I wake up if there’s still daylight.
