So I worked on the mould all weekend, it didn't end up being the final bog application like I had hoped, and now I'm out of epoxy, so no more working on the boat this week until my US Composites order comes in. That's cool though, gives me a chance to work on some other things, like my foredeck mould drawings that I keep putting off, and blowing all 50lbs of fairing dust out of the garage........

still here

Its been a while since I posted, but I've spent the week in bed sick, that and I don't seem to post much when nothing new is happening. Anyway, I'm continuing to sand on the Hull Tool, and its really coming together. Last night I put what I hope is the final coat of bog on. Everything was looking about where I wanted it as far as fairness, I put one thin coat on the whole mould and put it in the oven over night, I'm going to sand on that starting tonight in preparation for 6oz glass, which I ordered yesterday..........So you know, its getting there.

I figured out a way to put the heater box up on the sawhorses, so now I don't have to put the tool (260lbs) back on the floor when I want to cook it. Its not airtight or anything, but if I leave the lights on continuously, the box maintains a constant 99.5deg, which is fine for anything besides post cure.

Groundhog Day......

I sand, I Bog, I sand, I Bog, its coming along, its been so nice lately, no snow and some nights I can sand with the big door open. Here's what The Mountain Top Shop looks like from out side. This is why 4 meters was the max length, because that's the biggest thing that will still fit in my garage comfortably.


The form is looking nice, there is still a lot of work to do though. This is what it looked like tonight after I got done sanding.


Then another round of bog before bed.
