nice work ... i am 30 ,55 gallons drums into my repair work in experience.. the tools we have now are so much better.. when i stared.. your tools are perfect.. nice shop,, great personality, if can, put a full stop angel up ,watch on a day time laps , its funny !!!! i document my work a little , my favorite is a big lay up , single handed , blow there minds !!! keep that talent growing !!!!!!! really like watching your posts ,you giving me positive energy to keep going on with these never ending boat repairs, its a quiet job listing if you are looking for hands to help , even with top tear pay, the helpers find something else to do.. the micro detail orientation of though, writing it down id not an option .. its a must .. the business of the fiberglass boat repair, completely different from new construction.. .. its really unknown to the average consumer to see the repair process. and its natural needs to detail.. nice work....
I knew jack about the boat repair subject. My little fiberglass flamingo is down this summer and i do intend to take your tutelage to heart. Like the talks about dif meterials and their applications. Great info!
I have watched a lot of your videos and this is the one I like best. Not only did I learn a lot about fiberglass stringers but your use of a scaffold as a workbench/roll hangar is genius. I have a scaffold like yours and now all I have to figure out is how to get that roll up there. Thank you for everything you share.
I understand the note completely. I renovated my old house to sell before moving to the coast a couple years ago. There was an unused space under a counter in the corner where two base cabinets met that was going to be closed up. We had this old fancy glass fish about 8" tall that had a broken fin. We glued in onto the floor in that space and left a placard that read "Bob the Magic Renovation Fish" the date and our names for the next person that remodeled the kitchen.
Every time I want to change something out or am complaining about the quality of workmanship on my 1984 Chris Craft, a video from Boat Works Today pops up in my video feed showing what I need to do! Haha.
Hello Andy, Of all the videos regarding laying up fiberglass this shed simple light on many critical techniques: sometimes you don't know the benefits when you're doing a smaller project thank you!
Great Stuff! Always good to see real world problem solving and application in action. As for the "Roll and Tip", I can never get enough pointers on this subject. So bring it on!
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! do roll and tip video. You have inspired me to do fiberglass work on my own boat and your videos have been INVALUABLE.... Thank You!!!
There are a lot of bad ways to roll and tip. So seeing how the experts like yourself do it Andy would be great. From types of paint to the actual brushes and rollers to use. Also paint over gelcoat and alike.
yes on roll and tip video, maybe you could also do a paint comparison between the Cheap rustoleum topside from home depot and a total boat or awl grip product.
Yes, a rolling-and-tipping program would be great, especially with something about selecting a brush for tipping. And what rollers work best for which applications/paints. Also, any suggestions for cleanup in moorages would be helpful. A lot of moorages have provision for disposing of used oil but not for used solvent, paint, thinner, etc. As always, great program!
I always corner my cut outs with a hole saw. A radius eliminates a stress point that a sharp corner provides. I know this is a pretty minor thing, when you are glassing over something, but its easy to do and I have a little OCD too. :) Certainly not meant to be critical, but wanted to know what you thought of this idea. cheers!
Whats up man.im from trinidad west indies and i must say i do enjoy your work..i myself currently giving my boat an extra board and i know the extremities that you go through that the normal person doesnt know but very good work.
Hey Andy, I just wanted to let you know I embarked on making a glassfiber top box for my motorcycle 2 years ago, and I saw your videos for inspiration and tips and tricks. Today I finishen it. Thanks for all the help! :)
Roll & tip for sure. Love your videos. I'm ready to repair a poorly done (by the factory) bow anchor storage compartment and aft battery compartment. Thanks to you I have complete confidence in my ability to do a great job. Thanks for everything
Add my vote to rolling and tipping. I have just recently acquired a sailing dingy that needs a repair and I plan to paint the entire hull. A good "Andy" video on how to do that smartly would be great.
Roll and tip video would be AWESOME!! Getting ready to do that project soon 😁 I’d also like to say thank you! The epoxy and fiberglass wisdom you share has helped me so much! Thank you!!!
Yes! Yes! Roll and tip please...I'm about to do a bottom paint job on a trailer sailor with the gel coat bubbling (osmosis ) Great videos with great character!
Yes. a roll and tip video would be awesome. Since you asked, I have been wondering about the differences between painting hull-sides above and below the waterline and painting topsides. Plus can you paint over nonskid decking without filling in the voids in the gelcoat checkering?
Would love a roll n' tip session next week.. Especially to learn the how and why's of the process.. Always wondered how you get that smooth surface when working under the waterline since my rolling attempts previously has left the surface kinda uneven with about 1/4th of a mm in difference between highs and lows (bout 5mm apart orso) after 7 coats of paint
I do the same stuff leaving notes.. on my boat below the gas tank i epoxy painted a “got gas?” And below the carpet i wrote “Warning, carpet made of 100% asbestos fiber” with red paint and a stencil so it looks official..
Yes, roll and tip would be awesome! Just starting to awlgrip my ‘64 Chris Craft Dory 22 and really fretting over whether to roll / tip or spray. Would love to get you take on the process.
Hoping to teach myself to repair my 1995 Sea Ray 200 Bowrider. Cutting into the floor I have discovered a wet, spongy, foam mess under the wood. I think I am going to have to take out the entire flooring deck to figure out the extent of the damage.
Hi Andy, a roll and tip demo would be great. I’m in the process of sprucing up a Compac 16 I recently acquired and will be painting in the next month or so. Thanks for the great videos. I’ve learned a lot.
Have you ever tried using 17 oz biaxial matting without the chop strand matting with epoxy? I’ve been using on my boat project and it’s been working pretty good. Don’t use as much resin and laminations come out a lot more clean and clear. Also is not as thick so works well in areas where you want to fair even with other visual seen areas of boat.
Roll and Tip? Great topic because there are several videos about that but none explaining the process. If there is a possibility, please explain if the process changes for one pack or two pack paint.
I recently acquired a 1974 glassmaster 18 foot tri hull. I have not begun the tear out. But, I anticipate the deck and stringers being replaced at the least, most likely the transom as well. The intention is turning it into a fishing boat that will last at least another 40 years. My questions. Is it cost effective and or pheasable to rebuild the stringers with no wood? If not then marine ply would be within my budget, coosa would be nice. It is just so stinking expensive.
Andy ,Nice classic blind repair job. I would only have used good polyester resin for that and got it done in a couple of hours but if you want to use epoxy go for it. you mentioned building out the well to a nice shape , for ready made panels have you used Coosa board?. great product.even if a little pricy , but the time you save.....invaluable. cheers warren
Different kind of OCD here... 1/16" = .0625", 1mm = .039375" While your only talking thousandths of an inch, fractionally speaking 1mm is about 2/3 of 1/16". 😁 I'm looking forward to your roll and tip tricks next week and as always, great video Andy. Thank you for sharing with us!
The roll and tip would be a good topic to cover, thank you so much for being a great educator!
The Roll and Tip Demo sounds great

You have the best boat repair channel on RUclips man.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! do roll and tip video. You have inspired me to do fiberglass work on my own boat and your videos have been INVALUABLE.... Thank You!!!
Commander Andy with a victory at the Battle of TheBulge!
I don't know who would thumbs down these video's. You are awesome and I have learned so much from you. THANK YOU!!!!
There are a lot of bad ways to roll and tip. So seeing how the experts like yourself do it Andy would be great. From types of paint to the actual brushes and rollers to use. Also paint over gelcoat and alike.
Nice new sander!

Yes, I am going to repair/repaint a 40 year old Whaler this summer so a roll & tip video would be perfect!
Good video thanks for taking the time to show how to tackle this repair

Well done Andy, you're a fiberglass Jedi.... I say "YES" to the roll and tip vid...
Add my vote to rolling and tipping. I have just recently acquired a sailing dingy that needs a repair and I plan to paint the entire hull. A good "Andy" video on how to do that smartly would be great.
Roll and tip video would be AWESOME!! Getting ready to do that project soon 😁
I’d also like to say thank you! The epoxy and fiberglass wisdom you share has helped me so much! Thank you!!!
Roll and tip would be great as I am about to do the same on my boat.
Yes! Yes! Roll and tip please...I'm about to do a bottom paint job on a trailer sailor with the gel coat bubbling (osmosis ) Great videos with great character!
You make this all just look so easy. Any topic you cover I will end up watching, so roll and tip sounds good.
Yes. a roll and tip video would be awesome. Since you asked, I have been wondering about the differences between painting hull-sides above and below the waterline and painting topsides. Plus can you paint over nonskid decking without filling in the voids in the gelcoat checkering?
Yes please, Roll and tip demo would be great.
Always amazing work
Sounds like a good plan.
Would be interesting to also see a video about tabbing. Such as reinforce the deck with tabbing where bow rails would be attached. Thank you.
You do real nice work.
Yes,YES! roll and tip tips
This is the first time I am first on this channel .
I always remember the motto Bertram had .... The name on the hull says it all.
I would love a roll and tip demo, would help me with a project I have coming up. As always, thanks for your thoroughness!
Great idea!
Like roll and tip demo idea!
Would love a roll n' tip session next week.. Especially to learn the how and why's of the process..

Yes on the roll and tip. Will have to do the same soon. Could use a good video on the subject.
Yes a roll and tip video would be great. I have a 22' sailboat I want to paint.
Yes, roll and tip would be awesome! Just starting to awlgrip my ‘64 Chris Craft Dory 22 and really fretting over whether to roll / tip or spray. Would love to get you take on the process.
I am definitely interested in your take on roll and tip finishing
Hoping to teach myself to repair my 1995 Sea Ray 200 Bowrider. Cutting into the floor I have discovered a wet, spongy, foam mess under the wood. I think I am going to have to take out the entire flooring deck to figure out the extent of the damage.
Got to love a Monday or Friday boat from the factory
good job
Roll and tip would be awesome
Roll and tip demo would tie in well with the next step of my project.
You are the the man. Roll n tip will be a great topic to cover.
I Would love to see a sailboat bulkhead replacement. Great show sir, thanks for the efforts.
Your channel has been invaluable - Thank You!
Question: Why was the fin roller not used in between the layers of cloth?
another great video
Yes on the roll and tip video. Are you planning to release the Alexseal video for non-Patreon members Andy?
Yes roll and tip demo please
Hi Andy, a roll and tip demo would be great. I’m in the process of sprucing up a Compac 16 I recently acquired and will be painting in the next month or so. Thanks for the great videos. I’ve learned a lot.
Did you forget the limberhole ?
Quality boat work as usual !
That is a clean compression lay-up!
Tool and Tip would be great.
Yup, would be interested in roll & tip painting, we have a 30 year old Plymouth Pilot we are restoring, and plan to paint it
The roll and tip demo gets my vote.
Would enjoy a roll and tip video - Getting ready to do the hull of my CD28 trawler. Thanks for sharing your work
Ya, Roll and Tip. I will be working on bottom paint in a few months
Making glass hollow core stringers demo would be awesome.
Roll in tip sounds perfect!!
A roll and tip demonstration has my vote. It's not easy to master that kind of work
Roll and tip would be great. Could you explain how you deal with coming back around a surface and hitting the dry edge where you started?
Nice work as usual Andy!
Yes roll and tip. Are you referring to rolling and tipping over the work you just did?
That looks much better and likely stronger. Nice job as always.
Yes yes yes ROLL AND TIP!!!!
Really nice work - or in other words, typical for you! And 1/16" is about 1.5mm.
Roll and tip would be great
Have you ever tried using 17 oz biaxial matting without the chop strand matting with epoxy? I’ve been using on my boat project and it’s been working pretty good.

Great work and video as always!
I've been trying to come up with a way to fix a spot on my boat this is a great idea thank you Ron
I'd also like to suggest the straight wall is much stronger/stiffer than the one with the large deformation.
Roll and Tip baby!!!
Good idea..
Thanks for another great video.
Why didn't you grind down the edges of the hole to the 12:1 slope you have used to fill other holes?
Lol "5 oclock friday awesomeness",i love it thts when i shine,another awesome vid andy thankyou so much!
Nice project! I can’t wait to see the result...
Roll and tip would be great! Waiting for your Alexseal postings!
Fancy sander upgrade!
I'm very much looking forward to a roll and tip tutorial.
I recently acquired a 1974 glassmaster 18 foot tri hull. I have not begun the tear out. But, I anticipate the deck and stringers being replaced at the least, most likely the transom as well.
The intention is turning it into a fishing boat that will last at least another 40 years.
My questions.
Is it cost effective and or pheasable to rebuild the stringers with no wood?
If not then marine ply would be within my budget, coosa would be nice. It is just so stinking expensive.
Roll and tip!! YES!!
Andy ,Nice classic blind repair job. I would only have used good polyester resin for that and got it done in a couple of hours but if you want to use epoxy go for it.
you mentioned building out the well to a nice shape , for ready made panels have you used Coosa board?. great product.even if a little pricy , but the time you save.....invaluable.
cheers warren
can you show how to roll and tip with two part awlgrip. Love your show. Thank you
I plane on doing some paint on my boat. Love to see how you roll and tip.
Yea, new overalls, looking professional again Andy! : )
Different kind of OCD here...
1/16" = .0625", 1mm = .039375"
While your only talking thousandths of an inch, fractionally speaking 1mm is about 2/3 of 1/16". 😁 I'm looking forward to your roll and tip tricks next week and as always, great video Andy. Thank you for sharing with us!
I would love to see your techniques on finish painting after the fairing process.
I would like to see the roll and tip. I am working on a project boat and have used quite a bit of what I have learned from you on my project.
