Kickin Glass and Takin Names......


What a day. Sanded the taped seams and decided it was a good day to lay glass, so I got everything ready and went for it. Its 12am and I just finished, I'm going to pay for it tomorrow. (This evening session sponsored by Monster Energy Drink, now if it would just wear off so I could go to sleep)



Layed out the 6oz glass, I'm glad I took so much time pre-fairing, look how OCD perfect the shape is. Watched a couple of youtube video's about fiber glassing boats then went to town. (I've done a ton of glass work, but never something this big)



I'm glad I bought Slow-cure epoxy, because it took me forever to wet the whole thing out. Now its sitting in the oven and should be cured by tomorrow afternoon. I "borrowed" this mould process from Bill Beaver of "Hungry Beaver" Moth fame, now I need to get in touch with him to see what the best way to prep the glass is before I apply the sandable primer (Duratec) finish.
