After we got back from winging/sailing, I did some work on some projects I had in the garage. First - I did the fine sanding on the new 4'8" foilboard. Got the top and bottom decks done.
After that I went ahead and sealed the top deck with epoxy and thiksil.
I didn't take a picture, but I did patch the Wide Wing Foil Board - there was a small crack in the glass on the nose. I sanded it and filled it with epoxy.
Next, I took a batch of epoxy that I had separated from the 4.9 ounces I mixed for the seal coat and mixed milled fibers ad black pigment into it. I used that to patch the pinholes in the HS1420CS (which will require another round of sanding) as well as filling Roland's fuselage.
Yes - the fuselage I just finished fixing - he cracked it along the same line. I went ahead and opened it up again, cleaned it out, sanded the exterior and placed a bunch of the epoxy mix inside. Tomorrow I'll sand off the excess, drill through the fuselage (using the hole nearest the front foil), open the top to accommodate a 1/4 20 locking nut, bolt it together and add another coat of epoxy to fill in the gaps and keep the nut/bolt protected from saltwater.
I'm always up for a challenge!!!
