La was helping out with some races at KYC - so I had time to get some work done on No.38
I started out fairing the track block and getting the boxes set in with epoxy. And then I got the bottom deck laminates all trimmed.
There's a carbon spine on the blank, then the top to bottom basalt layer, and finally a carbon cap sheet over the block.
I used 21 ounces of epoxy for the bottom deck lamination. And to make sure I didn't have any off gassing bubbles, I attended to the board while the epoxy was hardening.
After a few hours, I tested the lamination to see if I could sand it - yup! So I went ahead and laminated the top deck.
Here's the top deck with the laps sanded down and the under layers staged.
And here is everything laminated. I used 19 ounces for the top deck.
Nice and tight!!!!
I'll sand this again when I get home tomorrow and maybe get the first fill coat on (and if I get it on early enough, I can probably get the opposite side filled as well. Norm wants this board all white - so that is a thicker fill coat (with white pigment).
