Almost ready for its maiden voyage
Only trim and hardware remain. I will also be putting new wheels on the trailer, re pack bearings, new tires. Almost a wrap...
Installed a small section of the black trim- nailed the color combo I wanted. I did get some pverspray on my trailer, so that I'd not great....
Some very nice progress. Got all the new panels glassed in, baked them off in the sun. Then test fit everything before coating the interior....
I ended up doing bi axial weave with epoxy on the the bottom layer. Then a thin layer of wood, then my csm/poly resin. Although I have only...
Got the wings in, turning my focus 5o the back delaminated deck. Looks like it went, glass, wood, glass. I'm wondering if I should lay some csm,...
Made some very nice progress this weekend. Got the wings almost fully glassed in. It was definitely easier to run a layer on the top, and wrap...
I was wondering about that after rereading your replies earlier in the thread. If that is the case, and I can assume the 10% I added was a moot...
Just in case someone stumbles upon this thread: Harbor freight LVLP drilled to 2.3mm duratec at 10% - 16 mil thickness: set up great, better than...
Back to work. Got the fins shaped in. Trying some gun techniques on the seat before shooting the interior. I dried out the HF nozzle, also...
My buddy lent me a belt sander. Made shaping that part so much easier. I have the geometry on the one side, I think I'm going to glass this side...
This project slowed a little with the re opening of fishing. Slowly making interior progress. Got the shape, burned to chamfered the side....
Thank you - I drilled out a spare nozzle. I am going to just practice on the underside of a seat with gun setup to make sure things are perfect...
I wet sanded, cut and buffed one of those dry spots on the otherside... all other things equal, I think it was my spray that was the problem.
I did sand the primer prior to the wash and set. What you are saying makes sense - I think that my specific issue is a culmination of little...
My plan was an additional coat (if I'm being honest I should go back to fairing steps - its Bumpy), I still have some lighter spots showing...
I also did not use any PVA, just shot it and let it go. Not sure if that matters.
8oz gel coat + 3 oz patch aid, used 6 cc of MEKP. Temps hovering around 70- 80 with heaters on in the garage.
Hello all you fine people. I have made I beleive to be a tremendous error. I under catalyzed my gel coat by about 30%, only added enough mekp...
Gel went on great, kicked over about 70% of the way through, didnt have enough mekp to finish. Ordered more, now I wait. You can see a low spot....
