Garage Works - 3/17/2026

Got these signal windows sanded CAREFULLY


And covered in fiberglass


And pressed to optimize the epoxy-fabric ratio


Top deck - same deal


I used 0.14 ounces of epoxy (with slow hardener to buy time) and it was just enough for the 3 windows


I'll still likely have to feather in the edges, and then I can spray with clear coat


This should be done tomorrow

Garage Works - 3/15/2026

Tim just got a Foil Drive and his board has zero connectivity in the water.

So here it is back in my garage getting signal windows.

Here's the bottom deck window.


The two top deck window holes.


Windows filled


Bottom deck hole prepped


And filled.

0.1 ounce resin and 0.04 ounces of hardener per window.


With this epoxy work done today, I can sand and get the fiberglass patch on tomorrow.  I'll have to be careful sanding because that purple is a sticker under the fill coat.

I may have to keep the patch a tad bit proud to preserve the lam.

Regarding the Modification of No.26, I just ordered a new big router and vacuum collar - I kept staring at the cut I was going to have to make to clear the block slot and I didn't want to have to clean up all the shavings.  This new tool should be in on Wednesday - and this board should be done by then.
