rebuilding my V

From what I have heard you CAN NOT Pour that stuff on the wood, you must remove all wood first! I have heard, I have never used the stuff myself.

I did read that too. My idea was to cut the very tops off the stringers and then use an electric chain saw to cut out the old stringers if they don't want to come out easily.

I hope that works, but if it doesn't I might have to use the arjay just in the transom and then replace the stringers with marine tech ply and epoxy.

well finally today I was able to run into NOLA and get my PT Marine Tech Ply. I have been waiting a long time for the stuff to come in and for me to be able to run into the city and pick it up. I was also able to source some arjay from a distributor in nola. Should be in next week.

So I decided that I am goisng to use my existing fiberglass skins as a mold to pour a 1.5" arjay transom. I think 1.5" would workl because I am going to glass some knees in to the stringers and transom.

Anyway here's my score today.

Had some time today to work in the V. I plan on doing the transom 1st and get that squared away before I tackle the stringers.

More glass cut out


Stringers were past gone.

I could be wrong, but I thought resin wouldn't stick to pressure treated.

Figured I would say something before we found out the hard way.

Hate to say it, but I thought the same thing. Hope I'm wrong...

It normally doesn't due to the moisture content. These are kiln dried, that's the pic of the yellow moisture tag.

Good article

no problem, I actually learned about the pressure treated stuff from a local glass guy. The stuff is about 20 dollars less than marine fir down here. I think I paid 60 a sheet for 3/4". The only problem is that there is only one place that handles the kiln dried stuff and they are in NOLA. When they get the sheets in which is about 500 per order. It's all sold out with in 2 weeks. Then it takes about a month to get more in.

Must have had to go to Riverside! Quite the marine lumberyard. Biloxi has a good yard too.
