Thanks for the drawing.
I think I've decide to cut out the parts and do them
individually instead of in one shot for the entire
piece of plywood. This is my first time using epoxy
so I want to limit my risks.
thanks.

Hi all,
I'm just starting a Michalak Toto and have a question
regarding fiberglass butt joints.
I think I'm going to take the approach outlined by
Dave Carnell for doing both sides at once. Has
anyone had experience with this method? Reading the
instructions for Building Toto as well as the instant
boat books it seems the recommendation is to apply the
butt joint (in both cases using wood instead of
figerglass) prior to cutting out the pieces. I'm
concerned that if I cut out the pieces prior to
joinin them together that I'll have alignment problems
when making the joint.
Perhaps I'm having butt joint anxiety??
Thanks,
Bill

I did mine the same way except for using a second board on top of
the first sandwich and on each succeeding sandwich, and using
sheetrock screws through the boards instead of brads. It squeezed
everything nice and smooth, very clean joints.

Join the ply before cutting. Makes life easy.
No prob doing multiple sheets of ply, both sides at the same time.
1) lay down particle board on the floor, big piece where the joint will be,
small pieces to support the ends.
2) Prime plywood,
3) lay wax paper, tape down
4) epoxy, glass, epoxy
5) ply sheet one, brads to hold in place, thickened epoxy on end
6) ply sheet two, brads to hold in place, scrape off excess thichened epoxy
7) epoxy, glass, epoxy
8) lay wax paper
9) repeat
add cinder blocks for weight. let cook till hard and crispy.
have done four layers, and made 24ft long pannels this way. no worries.
