Cleat reinforcement patches

Not an incredibly exciting picture but here are the saturated glass reinforcements that will go in the interior of the ship where the cleats will be mounted on deck. The larger patches are reinforcements for winch locations.

Again, the trick to doing overhead glassing is to lay things out on sheets of plastic.  in this case, I  start with 1)  sheet of plastic 2) peel ply 3) glass 4) roll on a coat of epoxy 5) more glass  6) another roll of epoxy then let sit for a little while so that it's fully saturated and a little tacky.

Then slap those things in place and squeegee them in place with a bondo spreader.
