I'm about to start glassing the inside of the hull panels and was wondering if anyone does the 2nd and 3rd coats of epoxy with a plastic spreader instead of a foam roller. The foam rollers are just a little expensive and i feel like i could do it quicker with a spreader. Are there any down sides to this? Will it be more even if i use a roller? thanks in advance.

Hello,
Yes you can use a plastic spreader for all coats. You will find that less epoxy is wasted,and if you're careful, sanding will be easier.
I've built several kayaks but I'm yearning to get at a sailboat some day. Keep on posting the progress.
