Garage Works - 11/18/2024

I opted to skip the water time today - tide was too low for my preference.

Plus I have some repairs stacking up in the garage - this is Prayot's AFS Pure 900.

The front carnage is filled and ready for sanding.


And the wing tip is rebuilt.


The solid paint marker on the wing is from Prayot (not sanding them).


Here is the foil all finished.

Wet sanded from 220-320-400-600-1000-1500


Came out nice!


Not sure how long it'll stay this way -

And Harris dropped off his Appletree board for a tail/rail repair.  I'm not sure what happened (I don't need the story), but the corner was pretty beat up.  I sanded off the shattered carbon (which seemed really "dry" - I know the use infusion to laminate these boards - but it felt like this needed more resin in this area). 


Here it is all clean and ready for a stabilization fill


I set it on the rack this way to keep the epoxy slurry from running.


One last look before the epoxy goes on - those individual fibers are what I was describing as "dry".  They also seemed like they really weren't bonded to the foam.  It could have been the impact - who knows.


And here is the fill.


I'll sand this tomorrow and get the carbon patches on.  I want to get this out of the garage so I can focus on No.39
