Here are views of the stern and stem with the fiberglass laid up. After final smoothing with a dry paint brush the surface will be saturated with clear epoxy. This binds the cloth fibers to the wood forming a matrix of wood, fibers, and epoxy. This composite construction is strong and durable. The plans only call for fiberglass in the cockpit area but we opted to glass the entire length of the boat. Once the epoxy is applied the cloth disappears.
