That saying is absolutely true!

Progress has been slow... a lot of rain and a few people in from out of town has kept me off of the boat. However, I did call Joe @ Mertons to ready my order today. Looks like I am getting 6 sheets of core, 5-8gal of resin, a bunch of mat, and some 1708. He also wants me to use their hull and deck putty to adhere the wetter balsa core to the hull and fillet the floor edges. Looks like I may be getting 2 gallons of that. Oh and he is going to send me all of the needed supplies.
Anyone have any objections to what he has suggested? Joe also said 2 layers of mat and one layer of 1708 will be plenty strong for the core.
Joe is the man!!! You can't go wrong with what he tells you.![]()
