I'm not dead.
With Christmas coming, and winter here, and all the BS that accompanies it, I'm not finding a great amount of time to work on the boat right now. See you when I get back around to it (probably the new year). I have been thinking of a way to build a little oven in my garage to cure the mould in. I'm thinking cardboard/foam and halogen lights. (want to get up around 100 deg). Any thoughts?

couple logs in in an metal bucket, wha la: indoor campfire= lot's of heat.
why bake anyway. That shit should kick fine at 70 degrees.
For just letting epoxy cure, 70 is great, and thats probably what I'll do for letting the fairing compound (epoxy+qcells) cure, but when your curing the carbon epoxy hull, the more heat and pressure you can get into the cure the stronger your lamination, So that's vacuum bag and cure oven time. The extra heat makes the epoxy go off faster and makes a stiffer harder shell.
