Good job. I've been reading a couple of books about fiberglass work. Jerry Adams, the fella doing the work on my V20 said, Once you understand the basic principles, if ya can do a decent patch, you can build a 100 foot yacht.

I want some good reading material on modern techniques. Infusion, vacuum bagging etc. My local library didn't have squat.. Your glassman is right Bradford. I am sloppy with glass, to watch a pro do it for a while helps but it still takes a lot of skill to do a clean job.
Hatch looks great BTW..

Great & timley post. I have a question, as I am getting ready to redo my fuel tank hatch. I noticed that you did not cut the access holes until after you glassed? I was thinking of cutting them first, so I could seal them up when I glassed. Interested to know your thoughts and/or what others have done. (i.e., Cut the access holes first and then glass or wait until after you glass?) Thanks, Jim
