Ok so i really know nothing about fiberglass and stuff like that. I know how lay it up and all that stuff but have no idea what to use. So i got a couple of question...

1) If you've looked at my build thread im making my own footholds just cause i can. I need to know what mat, cloth, whatever would be best to lay right up on the foam.
2) Also need what epoxy/hardener would work best with that^.
3) This is kinda off the topic off fiberglass but i pounded the exhaust pipe out off the hull as far as i can hit in in the engine area. To get it the rest of the way do i just pull or is there a trick?

i can hook you up with some 1.5 oz mat if you want a good deal. i made a sub enclosure for my trunk with it. super strong and its pretty easy to work with. if it bunches up you just grind away and make it smooth.

i would use polyester resin if your making holds its much cheaper and when you glue it to the hull it will stick fine with epoxy resin.


and today i banged my exhaust out and there was no way it is gonna come out unless the foam is removed around it. it gets hung up because theres a nipple on the end. i had to pry the end with a 2x4 and a crobar to get it through the bulkhead.
