    boat companies work on rainy days if you have it in a dry place it will be fine may take a touch longer to kickoff but it will be fine.........

    I have done a ton of glass work while it was raining (in a dry place). Like Rollo said it will take a little longer for it to kick but it will be fine. Just don't get in a hurry. It is worse if it kicks to soon ( like on a hot sunny day) than kicking a little longer.

    Re: fiberglassing and rain (ironhead70)

    I once rebuilt a transom during a hurricane here in Florida (inside a dry carport) it took a little while longer for the glass to kick off,but it set up fine and wasnt affected at all by the moisture in the air.

    1989 361V Johnson 150 GT Fastest boat I have ever owned.
    Found out it scared my fishing buddy so I bought a smaller Stratos with a smaller Johnson
