Garage Works - 11/4/2024

As with most recent Mondays, I took the day off from foiling/water time and took a short nap in the afternoon.

Then I hit the garage to get some of the projects further along -

I started with the SK8 950 repair.  I sanded the excess carbon and epoxy off to see where I was at.


You can see the little clear "hook" or cutout - that still needs to be filled, so more carbon and epoxy...


The extra layers will also help strengthen the wingtip so no big deals.


Slow and steady is the best way to fix a broken wing tip.

I'll sand this down again tomorrow and get it faired in.  If it goes well, I can use the solid paint marker and get it filled in and wet sanded.


And I got the center line filled in on Greg's board.  That's after sanding the excess epoxy from yesterday off the center line delamination repair.


This fill will help even out the unevenness between the two sides (and how they took the epoxy differently based on the condition of the foam). 


Tomorrow I'll sand this to get it flatter - then I'll put some rail tape over it to help make sure it doesn't ever open up unexpectedly.

I'll also sand the bottom fills and see if I can get rail tape over the nose and tail repair areas.
