Garage Works - 8/18/2023

This post actually covers a few days of work in the garage.  A few days ago I cut the mast track boxes in No.32


I got them epoxied in the same day.


Today I added layers of carbon to really stiffen up the part of the board that will be under my feet.  There is some logic to a layout like this - but I'll keep those reasons to myself.


And I kept on going by preparing the bottom laminate.


And then I went ahead and laminated it.  Normally I would wait for evening, but it was still relatively cool outside so I went for it.  It came out nice.


I used some saran wrap in the critical spots to ensure the carbon stayed tight to the blank.

I'll sand the laps and laminate the top deck tomorrow.


I also made a big push to get Ken's board finished.  Every time I touch this board, I find another thing that needs to be fixed.  I decided to should just stick to what I said I would do and finish up.

I cut the finbox slot the same time I did them for No.32


And I got the open holes closed up.  I'm going to try and get this done tonight.
