The acronym LOA stands for:
Length overall
Listing on aft
Light on air
Legally oxygenated air
Linear polyurethane paints do not require thinning.
True
False
Vacuum bagging is a technique used for:
using air pressure to help fiberglassing
quickly cleaning fairing compound dust
making waterproof compartments
spreading microballons with epoxy over large surfaces
Which epoxy additive prevents sagging the best?
Cabosil
Microballoons
Wood flour
Milled glass

Low water-level
Life worth living
As epoxy cures it gives off energy in the form of heat.
True
False
Wood flour is the best choice for mixing with epoxy to make fairing compound.

When filleting the transom and the hull it is best to have as much wood-to-wood contact as possible.
True
False
The transom is:
The structure that forms the stern of the hull
The part of the boat where the center console is mounted
Made of thinner and lighter core material than the rest of the hull
The only part of the hull that does not require fiberglassing
Lifting strakes on V-bottom boat hulls increase their stability and allow a boat to achieve higher operating speeds.
True
False

True
False
BS 1088 is a standard for what?
Marine grade lumber
Weather resistent top coats
Anti-fouling paint
Continuity in fiberglass
It is not necessary to overlap layers of fiberglass because it serves to add extra weight without any gain in strength.
True
False
Microballoons are:
Used to thicken epoxy
Easy to sand hollow spheres used in fairing compound
A vital additive used in structural joints
Incredibly dense and almost impossible to sand
A structural fillet will be stronger if it fills the space between the wood being glued.
True
False
