Again thankyou Nick for the time you devote to producing these videos. In every episode there is always something that I can adopt in my micro bootlegger build.
That was a great episode. Boat is sure coming along nicely.....its great when you show some of the tricks you use. I wonder how big Bill's smile will be when he launches this baby?
I'm nearing the end of my Little Auk build, and all your videos have been invaluable to follow along as I work through the process. Thanks for all the effort you've gone through to produce them. At one point in this video you guys were talking about the cups you use for mixing epoxy. I used red solo cups - I got a package of the store brand cups at the grocery store. It was inexpensive, and I have a stack of decent size cups to use for mixing and distributing the epoxy, as well as varnish.
I have used red solo cups. However, they can sometimes have deep contours in the bottom shape that make mixing thoroughly difficult. Little spots of un-mixed resin can be annoying. Just make sure you dig into all the corners as you mix.
Hello Nick, thank you very much for the other great series parts for assembling the kayak. It's always a great pleasure to see the new episodes on Friday evenings (for me). I'm always waiting for it. Thank you very much for the very well-made instructions. If you want to put a picture or a sticker or something like that, when would be the best time to do that? Under the fiberglass mat or afterwards with the clear coat? I wish you a good time and all the best. I'm looking forward to next Friday. Nice weekend. 😉👍😃
You could probably put a sticker under the glass, but I would be concerned about the adhesive on the sticker failing, causing a potential delamination. I have always put the stickers on after the varnish/clear-coat just to be safe. They might need to come off when you refinish.

I'm glad you find the information useful

Could you use a heat gun rather than a propane torch to heat the epoxy to eliminate any bubbles?
Yes, a heat gun does work on most resins. I’ve found that with some it takes a torch, but this MAS would have done fine with a heat gun
