Re epoxy application: I see the roll-on, but no scraping or tipping to control drips/runs. Did I miss something? Is this not an issue?
David Jeffery says:
How long will the pastry bag of epoxy mix stay workable before it kicks off?
Hank Kennedy says:
Hi David,
That depends on the ambient temperature and the temperature of the epoxy. It also depends on which hardener you mixed it with. A bag of epoxy will retain the heat generated and accelerate the speed of kicking off. The best procedure is to mix small batches until you get a feel for how far a given amount will go. Some have reported slowing kick off by refrigerating
the mix, but I don’t know the effect chilling might have on the finished product.

David Jeffery says:
Thanks, Hank. Geoff Kerr is applying a lot of mix at one time, and he knows what he is doing. I’ll follow what you suggest
Clyde Davis says:
Folks,
I recently read in a blog the opinion that a boat like the Caledonia Yawl is not a displacement boat, so should not be sailed like one. I’m building a J II, one of her cousins. It would be great to learn points pertinent to handling these light, open boats.
Thanks for great stuff !
John Lewis says:
Clyde,
The CY is a displacement hull. She won’t get up and plane.
If you’ve not visited Forum.woodenboat.com, you should. There’s a handful of very interesting threads showcasing builds of boats much like the JII.
