Newfound Woodworks Fiberglassing DVD OR VHS VIDEO ($29.95) In this video you will look over our shoulders as we describe our hull preparation techniques, apply the sealer coat, cloth coat and then filler coats of epoxy. We discuss the purpose of the application materials we supply and review safety procedures. Three days of intense filming were edited to 78 minutes of extremely valuable information. We show you the fiberglass wet-out of the outer hull of a kayak and the inner hull of a canoe. We cut some cloth on a bias and show how it will wrap right around some very severe bends. We discuss the advantages of blush-free MAS Epoxy and how to use the long cure times to your advantage. If you have never wet-out fiberglass, this video will help you get the best possible results by showing you the techniques that work.

Note: Be careful to check which type of media that you want.
