This is our first video in our Boatyard Basics series.

Here we take a deep dive into the two types of resin that are most commonly used for fibreglass repairs and carry out a basic experiment to see how strong they are when using them to laminate onto marine plywood.

In the conclusion we touch on the various other factors that have to be taken into consideration when deciding which one is most appropriate for different jobs on our boats. We'll be looking more closely at some of these factors in future videos.
