Good for us beginners with nice explanations of simple technique. Well produced and filmed and most steps are easy to follow.
Loved the video and technique. I wish she had spent more time on the paper version of this technique (the technique is normally done on gessoed canvas) but it looks easy enough to do from the small amount of info provided. She gives several examples of complete paintings and even explains how she crops the paintings using tape, a neat idea that I now use. I had thought that this pouring was random but she shows that planning is key and results can be manipulated as needed. Nicely done.
This video is a mixed bag. Very neat method for building a light weight craft (like this kayak). Good detail on all how-to parts and explains the use of inexpensive materials. The video quality is poor at times and the sound is overlaid so sometimes it doesn't fit the video.
The boat itself is perfect for the intended use and this method can be used for larger craft (based on the video I used this method to build a super light weight duck boat which works better than the commercial boats and only cost $125).
One word of warning: He advises mixing epoxy with Acetone to make a thin first saturation coat on the fiberglass. While this will work (and work well) this mixture is very dangerous. He should warn viewers that Acetone is easily absorbed by the skin and goes into the blood swiftly. Is it is mixed with epoxy (as he does) the Acetone will carry the epoxy into your blood as well. BIG PROBLEM. So, if you intend to thin the epoxy with acetone, USE GLOVES AND BE CAREFUL TO AVOID ALL SKIN CONTACT.
Other than that, it is a good how-to-build video for light weight boats.
