Fig.#4 Pour Hardener into Resin
Fig.#5 – Apply resin to hull
Fig.#6 Lay Felt
Fig.#7 Apply Resin to Felt
Mix resin by pouring all of one can B (hardener) into one can A
(resin) and stirring thoroughly with the stirring stick for
approximately 1 minute– See Fig.#4 . Make sure to scrape the
inner sides of the can to achieve a uniform mix.
With the paintbrush, apply a light layer of mixed resin to the area
that has been sanded – See Fig.#5. The sanded area should be
completely covered with the resin.
Lay the dry felt carefully in place. Pat it firmly with your (gloved)
hand or the paintbrush to bring the excess resin up through the skid
plate – See Fig.#6.
Using the brush, apply as much of the remaining resin as needed to
completely wet through the felt – See Fig.#7.
Remove any air trapped under the felt by gently working it over to
the edge
