Before I went to the beach, I had spent an hour setting up the carbon for the top deck laminate. After trimming the carbon and cutting the laps, I folded the carbon back and made sure to fill in any gaps from the bottom laminate and the carbon/innegra patch (observation from laminating No.30).
I used a 10.5 ounces on the first pour. I focused on the area with the carbon/innegra and carbon heel patch first. I made several passes with the roller to make sure the epoxy made it through all the layers.
Then I mixed a 7.7 ounce batch to make sure the rail laps were good. I kept pouring the epoxy over the top laminate and rolled it onto the top laminate to saturate the roller and then I went on to wet out the laps.
I used saran wrap to make sure the edges stayed down (and to minimize what sanding I have to do prior to the fill coats).
Not bad!
I went ahead and wet sanded the KD 15" Marlin rear stabilizer because if I didn't I won't be able to sleep.
All better now.
The weather is ssupposed to get rainy soon. That'll give me an excuse to get the final steps done on these two boards. I also have to fix the mast tracks on Kalani's SUP Foil board.
I have to start saving up for the next piece of gear!
