Doug,



The info you need can be found in 'Fiberglass boat repair & maintenance'
published by Gougeon Brothers Inc. catalog # 002-550. It's available for a
nominal fee from your local West System Epoxy retailer or can be ordered at




http://www.westsystem.com/webpages/p...m#publications



Refer to section 6.2 'Installing a teak deck'. Substitute white pigment for
the black graphite as stated in the text. Get a copy of the 'West system
technical manual and product guide', catalog # 002-950 for an overview of
their products. Hope this helps !!

Building the Glen-L Hot Rod

Hi There -

I'm sure there's a proper name for it, but I'll be damned if I know it.

I'm
referring to the striped-decking you see on classic wooden boats. I know
some people simply stripe a plywood decking to make it appear like
individual boards, but I'm interested in the real deal.

Don't know which method is used here, but this is what I'm after...

I would guess that there's a technique for filling the voids with a

colored
(white) epoxy before sealing the entire deck. Does anybody know of a good
source for a tutorial on doing this, either online or book form?

I'm starting to build the Glen-L "Squirt", a little 11' outboard. It's my
hope, however unrealistic with my current skill set, to make it appear as
retro as possible. The decking could make or break the overall

appearance.

Thanks!!
Doug
