last week i did work exp as our timetable states.
i worked at Kevin Johnson Boatbuilders, doing mosly sanding... and a bit of laminating with vynalester, which was very simmilar to polyester but not quite as bad.
what was different though waas the glass we used, we were reinforcing the joing of a transom that had been extended. we used 1 layer of chop strand and then 3 layers of DB and one layer of choppy after wards again to finish it off. i asked why, and they said the choppy was to give a better bond to the previous layer.
sure it was strong but it was also very heavy!!!
and the transom was made from 16 layers of glass. the first thing i said when i saw that was it is heavy!
