Start in the stern compartment again for 'practice' as this will be closed up eventually. I measured the area to be fiberglassed, then cut a piece of fiberglass a bit oversized. Placed the fiberglass in the boat and smoothed it out completely. Taped fiberglass to the vertical parts of the boat to hold it up as needed.
Note: All the little nubs and whatever that are in the area to be fiberglassed need to be sanded down and vacuumed extremely well prior to fiberglassing. Surface needs to be pristine. I also suggest wiping the area down very well with de-natured alcohol to remove all surface grime and dust.

| I alternated sides when fiberglassing. Used the blue tape trick; works well. Used 3 filler coats of epoxy on top of the initial coat. |
