Garage Works - 7/23/2024

Marlon and I hit the garage today to get some work done.

Here's Marlon getting the fill coat on the bottom deck.

I finally sprayed the mast that I stripped of clear coat.  I may have to spray it again to get the interfaces between the polymer and carbon to fill in.

And I sprayed the bottom of No.37 again.

And I grinded the tail of this board repair for Matt.  I gorilla glued the loose foam and then went ahead and added the epoxy fill.  I'll sand this tomorrow and add a carbon patch.  I want to try and get this done so I can get it back to him (I am looking to get another board started...)

And as a note - I setup the AFS adapter on the Project Cedrus mast.  Nice fit!

Garage Works - 1/28/2024

It was stormy today - windy, but stormy.  The crew decided to pass on winging today.

So I spent some time going over the bike (I was actually pretty close to selling it, but all the signals are starting to go - age).  When this thing is clean,...

I didn't end up selling it.  And now I'm going to have to order some lights and install them.  I'll look for some LEDs - then I get to the point where I really shouldn't sell it...

At some point, I wanted to check the fit of the Evolution Cedrus Wind adapter for the F One Titan foot.

The Classic and Evolution adapters side by side.

Then I also carved out time to set up a template for the deck pad for No.34

I'm using the Octopus pads as a baseline.

And last, but not in chronological order, I sanded No.34 again.  And I placed a second top deck fill coat.  Then I sanded a few spots that needed attention, and even added yet a third spot fill.

It's totally worth the extra effort once it's all done, but sometimes I do wish I was less OCD.

Tomorrow I'll likely get in an after work session at Hickam (so I don't have to paddle into a headwind with breaking waves).  Then I'll carve out a little time to get the final rough sanding done (and maybe even the other grits - at this point the hard part/rough sanding is done).
