is it atall possable to spray epoxy resin onto a newly built outrigger

my thoughts of doing this was to increase the strengh of the tub and sponsons

would thier be any advantages to doing this

your thoughts would be of great help

epoxy will go over it but it wouldnt add any strength though on its own,maybe a minimal amount but thats it.

rogerp1

Glass it with 0.75 Oz cloth and epoxy

Hey rogerp1,

Is it a wood hull?

When I made my first outrigger (wood), I thought I needed extra strength so I glassed the outsides with cloth and resin but it added a lot of weight to it and to find out I realy didn't need it. I have since then made another rigger but this time I didn't use and cloth and resin to make the hull stronger. To make the rigger stronger, just add extra pieces of wood to all the joints in the corners.
Use the epoxy to seal the hull after you finish it.

P.S. I can post some pics if you would like to see.

just add strips of cloth to all the seems inside the tub and slow set 3 hr epoxy .seal the outside with 3 hr epoxy using an old credit card,two thin coats should do it.
