Introductory Epoxy Course

Product Description

This short introductory course is for people who haven't used epoxy for wooden boatbuilding before. The class lasts about three hours, starting at 1:30pm, and will introduce you to the techniques of using epoxy safely and effectively, including filleting, laminating, coating and applying fibreglass tape and fabric.

Our experienced boat builders will provide expert tuition as you gain hands-on experience of the epoxying techniques used in wooden boat building. Safety precautions and effective mixing are also emphasised.

All tools and materials for the course are provided, including the same low-sensitising solvent-free epoxy that we supply with our boat kits. Each student will be given their own mockup boat to practise on as our instructor takes you through each application of epoxy in turn.

The course begins with a briefing on the precautions that should be taken for safe use of epoxy at home. Essential protective equipment is provided for the course.
