  Great videos. I appreciate when you do cover the tips that would be otherwise obvious to an experienced person, because skipping over the obvious is often the issue that makes a simple project more difficult. The way you are constantly teaching as you go about the project is very helpful. Keep up the great work!

  Video suggestion… a video on how you seal and glass your PVC rigging tubes into your bulkheads and stringers. I noticed you have a unique way of doing it.

  Good call on the mask. &nbsp;In future videos you might consider mentioning organic vapor cartridges for the paint and acetone. &nbsp;Many folks would not realize that there are mask cartridges specific to the airborne hazard; particulate cartridge for dusty work, organic vapor for paints and chemicals, etc.<br>I&apos;m planning to gel coat my canoe so I&apos;m paying close attention.<br>Thank you.

  I have worked with resin building 4&quot; thick resin tables to custom fiberglass car parts to yacht building for over 40 years wtih each manufacturing process always employing these same rules when repairing any of them:<br>1) Always wear a respirator and PPE<br>2) Always degrease then scuff surface<br>3) Clean again with acetone<br>4) Hardner ratio based on temperature and humidity<br>5) Mixing in one cup then poured in a tray to avoid having uncatalyzed resin.<br>6) Pot life in a cup versus in a rolling tray ( in a cup it will produce more heat in a cup and harden &nbsp;versus distributed flat on a surface taking longer to harden giving you more working time)<br>7) If the surface temperature of your boat is cooler than the ambient temperature, the gelcoat once applied will drop in temperature to the the given surface thus slowing the catalyzation time.<br><br>I really enjoy watching each and every video. Keep up the great work!!!!

  Awesome narrative - show and tell in a real shop environment. Lots of people can relate to your processes which are totally doable as a diy.
