Would you be cutting the cloth in milimeters or inches? Wetting out with
epoxy or polyurethene? Sorry, lost my head for a moment. Jamie Orr, are
you going to be in Seattle the end of June? Anyone else?

Greetings to all on the Bolger list!
I have been away from boatbuilding for a while, though I did manage a
row-only June Bug in France last year. My Bolger boat web site
http://www.geocities.com/owlnmole/Pages/molehome.html
has long been neglected, but my wife, son and I will be moving to the
Caribbean this winter and I hope finally to get around to building a
Storm Petrel.
(Oops, this is sounding pretentious. I should clarify that my wife
is French and we were spending time with her family prior to my
starting a new job with Uncle Sam, who has decided to send this ex-
French teacher to...the Dominican Republic! So now I'm learning
Spanish.)
Anyway, I have been popping in on this group and Don Elliot's
Smallboats group from time to time. On the paint/cloth topic, I know
that Chapelle talks about setting canvas in paint for decksin
BOATBUILDING. Reuel Parker mentions using all kinds of "cloth"
(polyester, nylon bug screening, or even cotton) set in all kinds
of "resin" (real resins, various paints, etc.) in THE SHARPIE BOOK,
with some success. Perhaps he goes into the options in a bit more
detail in THE NEW COLD-MOLDED BOATBUILDING.
Since I so much prefer latex paint to anything else and I so despise
working with fiberglass and resin, I might be inclined to experiment
with some kind of light cloth in latex. Anyone tried it?
Regards,
Matthew Long

wants to get rid of the shorts. I was thinking that, if you wanted to
use regualar clth, you would use yardage from a fabric store instead
of actual clothing. It would be a case of glass the boat,
then "cloth" over that. Might be good for somebody building a duck-
boat. I've seen some reeds and cattails pattern clothing in the

Not sure how hard it will be to wet it out either. Experiment.

Yes it can. When we were building fibreglass whitewater kayaks, some of the
club members used to stick logos or pictures from t-shirts on the decks.
They filled the cloth with resin, just like the fibreglass cloth.
I guess we've all epoxied shorts and miscellaneous bits of clothing to our
boats, but you're the first guy I've heard of that wants to do it!!

Does anybody know if regular cloth can be applied to a hull in a
fashion similar to fiberlass cloth?
(What brought this up was the recent purchase at the local army/navy
store of a pair of shorts in "Woodland" camouflage. Wife doesn't like
them. In reply I said I was going to paint my boat that pattern. She
suggested epoxy-ing the shorts to the boat.)

Why not? After all epoxying fibreglass is merely glass reinforced plastic. You
would be creating cloth reinforced plastic... Whether it would be any good as a
protective coat and how it would look is another question.
By the way... I'm probably with your wife on the shorts issue.......
