After foiling and breakfast, I headed to the garage to knock out some progress on the projects. I sanded the HS1532CS trailing edge for a third time and placed a third coat of epoxy on. After it cured I sanded it down yet again, and later this evening I'll get the last coat on, and get that through the whole sanding regime.
Then I sized up the latest ding repair job. Went ahead and drew out what I thought needed to be cut out.
Taped off the deck so the wax job doesn't get gummed up.
Cut out the ding.
This looks like 100% fiberglass - no carbon...
And then I spliced on another piece of EPS. I may get this dialed in this evening (cutting off the excess and sanding it down so the fiber can be laminated on).
Then I got the fiberglass cut out that will live at the bottom of the divynicell sheeting.
And I epoxied it in place. The glass was 6 ounce fabric under the front decking and 4 ounce in the rear foot decking. I mixed up 4.2 ounces of resin in order to make sure the cloth was saturated (the glass only weighed 1.5 ounces - so almost a 3 to 1 ratio.
The last thing I did in the garage before lunch was to sand Marvin's 15" rear stabilizer through the 40 grit sanding. Lunch and errands are ongoing now - but I'll likely hit the garage again once I get back home.
