Unbelievably, I've been really hallin' on the build front. Stayed up till 3:00am wet-sanding and polishing the deck tool. She's all done, sealed, released and ready to lay up. Turned out really nice, some of my best work yet. Didn't bring my camera with me so no pics right now, but I hope to swing by EBS and take some later today so there are pics coming.
Now I just need to find a trailer to borrow so I can get the hull tool to the shop so I can knock that one out as well. So excited to be back in the swing of things.
As far as other developments, I've been doing some experiments with the Nidacore and have found that it isn't the core for this project. I'm not happy with the weight or bond compared to the foam and nomex cores that we use at the shop. I'm leaning towards nomex, you just can't beat it for strength, stiffness, and weight (but I am going to need a pinhole strategy). Eric has a ton of it laying around, but wouldn't you know it - no 1/4'' so I'm SOL for now, but have some leads and industry contact guys that might be able to help me out.
