THE PRODUCTION OF GLASS REINFORCED PLASTIC BOATS
GRP Boats Production
Lamination
The production of GRP boats can be divided into 5 phases:

- Plug construction
- Mould construction
- Lamination
- Assembly
- Bodywork
The production of laminates reflects the mould construction

process. Articles made with good quality materials and
controlled impregnation processes require fast assembly and
finishing operations.
Plug construction
A medium or large sized watercraft consists of tens of laminates,

matched-moulds and detached pieces which are joined
together in different ways: assembly using glues, bonding
with structural adhesives, banding with reinforcing fabric.
Assembly
The plug is obtained by building a framework made of wood,

polystyrene or polyurethane whose surface will then be coated
with putty, fiberglass-reinforced plastic or paint: the materials
chosen will depend on the size and number of moulds to be
produced.
A good quality plug (male part) will have a coating of uniform
thickness, very high surface hardness, and will be finished off
in a workmanlike manner.
The characteristics will be faithfully reproduced on the surface
of the subsequent mould (female part).
Bodywork
The bodywork department carries out all the assembly and
banding operations. It is also the place where defects are
eliminated and the products subjected to a final sanding and
polishing phase. Incorrect use of the materials in this
department (glue that is not very hard, stopper subjected to
excessive shrinkage, etc.) will create defects that are not
immediately visible but that will become evident within a very
short time.
Mould construction
Mould construction begins by applying dismantling wax on
the model so that this latter can be subsequently dismantled.
The process continues by applying a film of polyester or
vinylester gelcoat and following layers of matting and fabric,
adequately impregnated with resin, until the planned thickness
and rigidity have been obtained.
A mould that has been correctly designed and made will be
able to reproduce a great number of high quality blanks that
can be repeated whenever required.

ICR PRODUCTS IN THE GRP BOATS PRODUCTION PROCESS
Plugs
Assembly
Usually, the framework of the plug is assembled and the

wooden panels fixed to the garboards with thixotropic glue
with a high bonding power and low shrinkage.
All the GRP laminates of a boat are assembled together with

very hard, low shrinkage thixotropic glues.
The shaped wooden panels are coated with stopper that can
be easily applied by knife. It can also be easily sanded and
worked within a reasonable time.
The hull and deck are always fixed together with bolts and
rivets.
To ensure the watertight, hull and deck are sealed outside
with structural adhesives or long open time glue and have to
be banded with fabrics outside.
When the putty has fully polymerized, the articles are sanded
with abrasives. At the end of the process, the surface of the
model will be even and very hard, ready to be coated with
sprayed finishing stopper: this product must be quick to apply,
easily sanded and polished in order to be the ideal base for
the construction of the mould. To get an even better surface
quality, putty can be overcoated with a glossy top coat.
The bulkheads, which are normally built of marine plywood

(small boats) and with sandwich panels for medium-large
craft, are positioned with glue.
After this, the bulkheads are laminated along their entire
perimeter with resin-impregnated fabric.
Bodywork
Lamination
For the joining of the laminates, hard and thixotropic glues

are applied for filling the space; to form a continuous and
uniform surface, low shrinkage putties are then applied before
the touching up with gelcoat. .
After the gelcoat has been applied, the next phase in the
production of a GRP laminate is the stratification with mat
and fabrics of different characteristics and weight. These
layers are impregnated with resin until the required thickness
has been obtained.
Some of the linking radius are undersized in many articles:
owing to lack of space, the operator will be unable to position
the first mat in direct contact with the gelcoat. Special, very
hard, easily workable glues that do not shrink are used to get
over this processing error, which often gives rise to bubbles
and defects requiring great labour to eliminate them.
To reduce the weight of the articles while maintaining excellent
mechanical characteristics, sheets of light and resistant core
materials (such as PVC, balsa, termanto) are glued to the
external skin. Specific bonders with
high adhesive power and low weight density (from 0.7 to 1.3
kg per liter) are used to fix these.
The laminate is completed by stratifying the internal skin
which will be subsequently reinforced with floor plates and
longitudinal members: these medium-density polyurethane
structures can be positioned with glue and then laminated
with resin-impregnated fabrics.

mordant.
Colour
Specific weight
white
1,65 0,10 kg/l
Chemical composition
Main Features
- high mordant power. Removes sanding marks or scratches

of medium depth.
- high viscosity, allows very hard surfaces to be quickly
polished
- special formula for processes on gelcoat
special paraffins
emulsifiers
aliphatic solvents
silica-free abrasives in aluminium oxide
Thinning
Recommended uses
Due to its viscosity, the compound may need thinning. Use

petroleum.
LPM is a compound formulated for compounding gelcoat

panels. Due to its mordanting characteristics, LPM compound
can be used for :
- polishing handiworks
- polishing moulds and plugs
Packaging
LPM compound is supplied in
- 2 l tins
Polishing process
Storage
- make sure that the gelcoat is cold before polishing

- remove impurities such as dirt or grease from the gelcoat
with a cloth soaked in soap and water
- place a small quantity of paste on a wool or foam polishing
pad
- spread the paste evenly over the surface, with the polisher
still off
- switch on the polisher and adjust the speed to between 800
and 1,500 rpm
- start polishing by exercising a light pressure, then
progressively reduce it until the paste begins to dry
- make several crossed runs in order to remove all the
scratches. Do not polish in the same area for very long or
the surface will become overheated

RUBBING COMPOUNDS
This process will achieve a finish high level of gloss which

can be improved if required by a successive treatment with
polishing compound.
