Wow, the photographer stuck to him like glue to get fantastic closeups during the whole wetting out process. BTW, from 10:37 - 10:40 I seem to see a lot of wet "stringies" hanging down from the rail and I'm surprised he doesn't cut those off. Surely he's not going to lap them around to the deck. They always cause so much trouble when glassing the deck. OK, so I watched some more, and he lays them down parallel to the rail and not out onto the deck. BTW, photography at 13:28 is incredible; you can see the drips so clearly! Kudos to the cameraman!
If I chip brushed then rolled and then used a bubble busting roller could i use this method on 1708 without priming board with resin first. When i say board i mean a piece of lumber. Thanks for the videos!
always picking up new techniques. I feel like I'm always trying to keep my hands as clean as possible until the very end, but hes just going at it saturating laps with is hands...gotta try this as this is my weakest glassing step. I would love to have all that extra time to lay down more resin on the deck and babysit laps
Imo, you're shooting yourself in the foot if you don't do the continuous rail waterfall and saturate each lap completely in 1 stroke. It's a bit more wasteful with resin, but is so much more efficient with respect to laminating the board. What I do is lay the stickers, then pour a little bit in the middle of the board, spread it out quickly and get the glass to adhere, then immediately go to lap resin waterfall. After that you're good to go, you only need a little resin left in your bucket to make sure everything is smooth on the flats and then tuck the laps.
This guy is a pro.. Awesome to watch. Thanks for sharing your technique..
Been a Glasser since 1977...This guy is PRO!!!! Way back No Gloves or Mask....My skin is stuffed...

so how come he doesnt tape off the deck of the board so that the resin doesnt get all over the deck when he wraps the rails?
With the 7533, is that inches, making it over 600 feet of fiberglass? Thanks. Great video 🤙🏽
Bauer Power🤙!

When he adds a lil more resin to the bottom, is that from the same bucket or does he mix up a bit more ?
how much resin do you usually use for each layer of fiber glass (depending on the length of the board of course)?
How much resin are you guys using per foot of board?
How did he have so much time? 9 minutes working with the same resin without it hardening?
How much resin did you use for the bottom?

what squeegee does he use? that one looks nice a big but flexible
Hey why did he have a double lap at the tail of the board? Thanks!
It's to reinforce where the fin box will go 😁👍
