    Tricks for laying Fiberglass Cloth?

    I've been delayed by a bunch of things, but after owning her for about a year, I'm starting to rebuild the floor of my boat. It's the same model that Liemavick has a thread on, so I have a good guide to go off of.

    The one thing that I am having MAJOR problems with is laying the Fiberglass cloth without getting any air bubbles in it. I think I'm going to have to resort to laying it in smaller pieces, rather than trying to do whole 44" x several feet sections.

    Any tips?

    You need to buy a fiberglass roller in order to roll out the air bubbles. You really shouldn't do large sections of fiberglass without one.
