- In this video i use a plywood boat that i got for free to test poor mans fiberglass. Pmf is using wood glue and fabric to make a strong durable waterproof layer to ensure that thus boat doesnt sink! I will use this boat to show how to link up steering and how to mount a trolling motor! Thanks for watching!
Pre wetting your sheet in very thin pva/water in a bucket. Helps stretch fabric round compound curves.
Nice tip!
It looks like you did a good job! I'm very new to the concept of Poor Man's Fiberglass. However....the best part of the video, for me, was seeing the involvement of your assistants. Too cool man!!!
I love to look back and see the little turds later when they grow so fast! Lol. Thanks for watching!!
@@americanboathead5390 I absolutely hear what you're saying. I have a 6 year old daughter and it seems like she gets a month older every day. She's just amazing and she loves to help me in the shop. Take care buddy!!!
Cute little captain you have aboard mate! You are a team! Bob Belgium, thx brther
Thanks! They love to help! I can't wait till they are actually helpful! Hahaha
Well done the kids are a blast, and I think you should make that boat for them with a weed whacker motor on it.
They would LOVE that!!!
With all of those assistants, you should be making way more boats,LOL. Great video and loved your assistants. The cloth smoothed out more than I imagined it would-looks great.
Thanks man! We would have more boats but we don't have room! Lol
Just discovered your videos today and I am fascinated! You make me want to build one myself. I already have a trolling motor, so it is just a matter of figuring out what design to build. Keep posting the videos, man-they are great!
Thank you! You %100 should do it!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! my friends and i are building a boat together and being high schoolers we are broke and this video is a life saver!!
AWESOME!!! good luck fellas!!
Your assistant killed it
"Totally!"
Youre helper is right with you( he patterns his though after you)
My son.. 27?
Doing his thing
Precious moments for sure
I'm so happy when I watch these videos back! And kinda sad...
The Corona joke was the best part 🤣
Lol thanks. I like puns hahaha
Nice job, blokes. Light, cheap, tidy with an easy water cleanup. Another outstanding video.
Very user friendly
That kid's so cool.
Tumblehome is what its called.great boats
I like to use wood glue and sawdust rather than bondo. Bondo has always come loose on me after a few years. I have had great luck with glue and sawdust. I used cotton canvas painters tarps from the hardware and just white paint to do the leaky roof of my cabin cruiser. I painted the roof then laid on the cloth and painted it. it still leaked so i painted it again. and it still leaked. finally i gave it a third coat and it is so dry and has lasted a year so far. i used rustolium enamel, and what's interesting, it was lightly raining when i was doing all the painting.
Thats smart!!
@@americanboathead5390 I'm not as dumb as i look, but not as smart as i think i am. But some have testified, i am a sub genius. Me just looking for a little leisure with dignity. Dude i admire your style.
We sound like kindred spirits lol
@@americanboathead5390 funny, that's exactly what i was thinking a while back when i first watched one of your cool video's. Good luck with everything. chat with you later.
I've always enjoyed your videos, make me want to build a boat also, keep up your great videos
Thank you!! I needed that today! You totally should build one although be forewarned that it is very addicting!!
@@americanboathead5390 i'm going to give it a try , i love fishing and the water
Excellent ! I used cloth on the front seam of my build and it takes a beating. It's a 2" wide strip up the front. I am anxious to see how yours turns out using a wood glue and then paint rather than epoxy. Keep up the great videos!
Me too! This is a first for me
The Good thing about these boats are they're never in the water for extended periods of time to need expensive materials 👍
That's a good point! Some people even have small leaks and their boats still last years!
@@americanboathead5390 If it starts to disintegrate then it's the perfect excuse to build another one, build back better lol : )
Exactly!!! I believe in the burner boat method where you don't worry about little things like small leaks etc. On the first build. Just get it done and on the water! After that, "make it great again" "build back better" or... burn it to the ground baby!!! Lol 😆
@@americanboathead5390 😆😂🤣👍 I've been looking at electric motors, does it really matter which type or lbs of thrust? There's some new ones around £100.00 to £110.00, 24 to 46 lbs of thrust but a boat with less than eight feet of water line will barely do 4 miles per hour anyway, well unless it's got a big enough engine and a planing hull. I'm thinking efficiency is probably the best route.
When I get my shed cleared out, soon I hope, I think I'll tackle one. I haven't built a boat in thirty years, I've built three back then, three years in a row, Great memories 🙂
I will always go for the 30lb thrust for the price, sufficient power and minn kota had been very reliable! The people I've been out with have the three blade Newport vessles brand or no name and seen problems with the control unit not working right. But they do pick up and go faster! I've never heard of a mini that goes 5mph with trolling motor and imagine I never will lol
Hey hope you and your family have a great Easter holiday
Thank you! Dying eggs today! I hope you and yours have a great weekend too!
@@americanboathead5390 oh yeah same here. I see rabbits everywhere LOL
I'm kinda' tired this week and I have a lot to do; are the assistants available for the rest of the week? Cheers lads, keep 'er afloat.
$5 a day lol
@@americanboathead5390 that's like being Rich at that age LOL oh, boy do I miss those days
I liked and subscribed simply because of the corona joke...
I am curious about the longevity of this sealant versus fiberglass. I am planning to make another pirogue in the near future and may go this route. If it lasts a few years, I would be pleasantly surprised. If it disintegrates after a couple seasons? Then I'm only out $80.
Haha thank you! I dont know how long this material will last but with how often I go out boating I imagine it'll last forever. Maybe if I run it into stuff often it will need some repairs. Maybe some cracking could develop sooner but ill have to keep an eye on it. It just seems to be really really strong somebim pretty confident... we shall see! Thanks for subbing and for getting my lame jokes!
You can use paint in place of the glue...
Ive never heard that but i wonder if the paint would get as hard as the glue
there any more on this boat? was skimming the channel but didnt see anymore on how this bad boy turned out. curious how its holding up, how it looks completed.
There are a couple! One called something like "kid crashes electric boat" and in another called "7ft cabin cruiser " let me know what you think friend!
Hey just have a question, I'm from the UK and in the process of making a mini boat, does the PMF work? How did it turn out on your boat? Would love to hear back from you 👍
I have taken the boat out 3 times and it has held up beautifully!! With how much easier cleaner and cheaper this pmf method is, its literally my method of choice. I have alot of confidence in it. Obviously if its done correctly taking care to avoid, find and fix any bubbles. And also paint is necessary. Do it friend!!
@@americanboathead5390 thank your the reply, appreciate it 😁👍
@@joehollis3044
They said before fiberglass, boats and planes were made using pmf poor mans fiberglass
Great video man
Thank you!
You're welcome.... love the way he introduced himself as mini boat head, LOL and the way he was so proud. Those are Priceless moments right there👍👍
You are right! I loose sight of that sometimes... they grow up way too fast!
@@americanboathead5390 oh yes they do. I'll tell you you never know how fast time goes until you grow up, that's for sure
After doing my first boat with poor mans fiberglass, I found it didn't adhere very well to the wood. After a week of fishing everyday, the cloth started pulling away from the wood and the boat leaked a little. I ended up pulling all the canvas off the boat now. It's a complete failer. I don't know if I went too fast and didn't get all the air bubbles out or didn't let it dry completely? (it was ona week before I put it in the lake) SO I'm looking for another alternative to sealing the hull to make it waterproof. I'm looing into using Coat-it by GOOP. It's supposed to be really tough using ceramic beads and Kevlar fiber in it and it has 5 star reviews, so it looks like a good option.
Id suspect a couple things. Did you use the more water resistant glue such as titebond III? Did you water it down and cover the wood before fabric and layer more on top? Did you paint also? This is all for research as it doesnt help you now sadly. I think if you are going to be in the water that much, you should consider fiberglass and resin with the best paint/ coat it you can find. Sorry to hear that
@@americanboathead5390 Yes, I first applied the Titebond 3 liberally to the wood, then laid the fabric down and added another coating of glue. I let that cure over night and added a second layer of glue. I may have been in a hurry and didn't get the fabric to completely stick to the wood in a few places and that's where the water got in and saturated the cloth. It pealed off like a wet blanket. I'm in the middle of sanding everything off and re-coating the entire bottom with Coat It by GOOP (Goop has great products) and hopping that will be my answer.
Everything I’ve read and watched says that titebond 3 doesn’t bond to titebond 3 when it’s dried.. but it appears it does after watching your video? When you did the corner hole patch the top layer looked pretty dry.. would you say it sticks to itself? I’m doing my diy camper with this stuff.. struggling between using titebond 2 or 3..
Well i went with III due to water proofness claims. Maybe it has a waxy finnish and thats why it does stick to dried glue? I dont know. I feel like a good sanding helps. I havent had issue but with a trailer that bounces, factors are different. Maybe where it needs patching, spray a primer on first? I wish i was more help..
I wonder if the plans to that boat are on the internet?
If you do this again. Use titebond 2. Its 1/3 the price. Still water proof.
You can also use "good/mistint"paint to stick it down then paint the top.
Hello, this mini boat project is available for sale where?
Remember back when we were kids ,we thought painting was the Koolest thing?!! Man how stupid were we???
Well for some of us, it was lead paint so we got stupider! Lol
Have you ever tested poormans fiberglass in saltwater and if so does it hold up well
I have not.
How much is the polyester resin in your country ????
Missed the point: Resin isn't needed fo. Porch paint and cloth works fine. Besides, you don't want kids near resin, but PVA and paint is fine.
Thank you!
csn i use boat resin, i mean wood polish for boats
I suggest epoxy resin for at least the bottom. Normal varnish wood polish is enough for the rest!
ok thanks
hi, i aciddenty used none-waterproof glue for my poor mans fiberglass boat,can i use wood varnish for the layer on top of the fiberglass
Probably can! If there is any waxy film on the boat, the var ish won't stick but it's worth a try!
@@americanboathead5390 ok,thanks
What is very 'flexible' is that a T shirt? seek 08:41
Yes it is! It worked great too!
i dont get it. fiberglass resin is not that expensive and far more durable. that bottle of wood glue costs not much less than an entire half gallon of resin depending where you source it. just sayin.
Your are correct about that! The difference is that this glue method is much simpler and easier. There's no stringy fiberglass mesh, no sense of urgency due to cure time, no gloves even needed, non toxic easy water clean up and more. I prefer epoxy myself but many people find it to turn into a hot sticky mess and swear to never try again. Lol. This glue method is easier than switching to gieco for home and auto insurance! Try it out and see what you think!
