We produce short kits
of the highest quality. In order to keep our costs low, we concentrate on manufacturing the best hull and deck units. Our next goal is to provide the other details that would be extremely difficult for our customers to make on their own. This is not a complete “kit,” but as you inspect the information for any of these boats you will have an abundance of pictures and recommendations that go with each one. Building instructions are not provided and prior modeling experience is helpful. KMB hulls are handmade from epoxy and fiberglass cloth with a layer of gel coat. The quality and attention is the same given to the making of full size crafts. The gel coat is between .010 to .015 inches thick and followed by three to five layers of fiberglass cloth and epoxy. All the hulls we make are joined with the deck in the mold before the hardening of the epoxy is complete. Then these hull/deck units are tempered for 24 hours in order to achieve maximum strength. The mold release agent is polyvinyl alcohol and has to be washed from the surface with hot water before sanding or painting. |
