0.7 ounces of epoxy and 5 spoons of milled fibers. Wasn't quite enough mix to pack the back void, but we'll mix more tomorrow for the rear wing - which is smaller, so we'll have more to fill the void and fair it in.
So here is where I deviated from the Clearwater Hydrofoil instructions - Marlon and I choose to attach each wing separately instead of in a single step. Less time pressure to get everything glassed up (we're using Fiberglass Hawaii Two Part Slow - but with the Ewa Beach heat in the garage, the slow starts to cure very quickly - even faster than fast in normal temperatures)
This was actually pretty easy. Three layers of 4 ounce cloth on each side with a single 4 ounce piece bridging the span.
Looks pretty straight and square.
Tomorrow will be a light sanding on this joint, then shifting over to the rear wing. The glass is already cut for tomorrow's work (on top of the wing to the left of the picture). It's coming together and taking our time has produced great results so far. Up next since this project is getting close - shaping the two foil boards...
