Stitch & Glue Kayak Hull Preparation: Shaping Seams & Stems for Fiberglassing - Petrel Play SG - E13

Bill and I prepare the hull for fiberglass on the Petrel Play SG kayak. We are building the Petrel Play SG kayak design from a kit by Chesapeake Light Craft (CLCBoats.com) https://bit.ly/3uRnqzA.

In Episode 13, Nick Schade from Guillemot Kayaks and his assistant, Bill, continue their work on the Petrel Play SG, a stitch and glue sea kayak designed by Nick and provided by Chesapeake Light Craft as a kit. They discuss the progress made so far, including fiberglassing the inside of the deck and various parts. The main focus of the episode is preparing the hull for fiberglassing the exterior by trimming fiberglass, cleaning up seams, and rounding over edges for durability and ease of fiberglass application. Nick emphasizes the importance of a fine finish, careful trimming, and the technique for smoothing and rounding the boat's edges and seams. He also touches on staining techniques and adjustments. The episode is educational, focusing on detailed kayak building techniques, proper tool use, and the importance of precision and patience in crafting a sea kayak.
