Also remove any leftovers and the catalyst!
from the boat. Do not put the catalyst"in a metal!
container other than stainless steel, it reacts!
with iron oxide and could cause spontaneous!
combustion.!
As a reference, a container with between 4 and 5 gallons of resin requires 125 cc. of
methyl-ethyl-ketone- peroxide at 50# to have a catalyzation factor of about 1 #.!
Before you start laminating, make sure that!
you have sufficient time to complete the entire!
job, whether it be the 8 laminations of the keel!
or the 4 required for the bulkheads.!
KEEL LAMINATION!
Complete all the laminations at one time,!
proceeding in stages will take you five times!
longer, since you will have to sand between!
layers, not to mention the danger of future!
delaminations. On the keel itself, start!
laminating one mat, then one roving, then again!
one mat and one roving and so on, until you have!
completed 4 of each. Your laminates must be!
layered out longitudinally and reach the Airex on!
both sides as well as cover the turn of the!
bilge.!
It should also exceed the keel at both!
ends.!
BULKHEAD LAMINATIONS!
We recommend that the mat, roving and mat!
be saturated with resin on a piece of cardboard!
and then brought to the bulkhead in about 2' long!
sections.!
This is the fastest way to complete the!
operation.!
