Boatbuilding

Gel And now the fun begins.

You’ve seen the tooling (mold making) process take place over the past few weeks (in reality it took months to do in real time what I have shown you during this short snap shot). Now we are ready to build a  Sabreline 38 Hard Top Express

The first thing we do is to prepare the mold by cleaning it and applying a mold release wax. That ensures that when we are ready to pull the part from the mold that the part comes out of the mold easily and doesn’t damage the mold as it releases.

Once we are ready to go we pivot the mold onto it’s side and start applying gelcoat (that’s the paint that you see on the outside of a boat hull or deck). Here the guys in the shop have applied a Flag Blue gelcoat to the 38 Express mold
