Marc Sickerling is one of my favorites, his style set him apart from others.
Who is that bald guy you guys ride with again? haha He would be great if he finished the blunderjet story this century.
port Sheldon MI. Murph comes up every now and then when the waves are good. I will probably make a trip down to Chicago area this summer and ride with rhugo21 too.
your roller will work good when you lay the fabric into the ski. It will help you get all the air bubbles out. I also use the chip brush to work out air bubbles. Once you got in laid down how you want it, that's when you put siran wrap on the pesky spots or the whole thing if you want.
siran wrap just sticks to everything, and just helps keep everything down. You'll notice that corners don't like to stay down on contours, the siran wrap just helps to force it to stay down until it dries.
once you have the fabric fully wetted out. I lay a piece a wax paper on the cloth weave...
you will learn as you go.
vacuum will reduce the amount of resin and air pockets and will ultimately lead to a stronger part. However, there is a lot of added cost for equip and materials to vac, and knowledge that goes with it.
When I glass, I put down a sheet of plastic on the work bench...
4 layers of 1708 will end up being pretty thick, and is about what I used in spots where I built up my own surface. And if you alter the direction of the weave, you really shouldn't need more layers than that.
similar work that I did to my 300 project.

Light weight is going to very hard to do with hand layups, I found that out.
I would recommend using the 1708 still, and laying each layer 45 degrees to...
bump. whats the good word?

depends on the location and if I built up on factory smc. Generally, in spots that I built up my own shape (like the pump and the nose) I used 3 layers of 1708 biax and laid it in 45 and 90deg to each layer... and one layer of 5oz weave for a smoother finish. I think I did 4 on the bottom up...
