Fiberglassing for Dummies | Learning to Fiberglass & the Basics | Sailing with the James's (Ep. 96)

Fiber glassing for Dummies! This week we are teaching ourselves to Fiberglass! We are making fiberglass floors for the tinny and bonding fiberglass to aluminum to make pods for the back of the tender for access to the water. We are sharing tips and tricks we've learnt as well as the do's and don'ts of fiberglassing that we have learned! We are going over fiberglass matting, epoxy, q cells, and carbocel. Join us for some fiberglass work! ________________ ABOUT US: Ahoy! We are the James Family, a family of three sailing around the world and sharing our adventures in family-friendly episodes every week! Sam is originally from New Zealand, Cait is originally from the United States; we met in Cairns, Australia and a few years later during Covid-19 we eloped and then a year later our family grew and we welcomed Charlie! We took the big plunge in 2022 and decided to follow our dream, sold everything, and purchased an old, unfinished, aluminum Catamaran and we are now are fixing her up as we sail around the world.
