Can you smell what the rock is cookin?



Finished up the pump manifold this week, it works. Still waiting for my new gauge to come in, the one mounted is from a scrap bin and is off a little (reads low).








Made a little cook box to do test panels in. its just a crappy cardboard box with some lights in it, But its good to 150f.




I got a sheet of nomex from Hexcell which I plan to use as the core on the crewdeck, foredeck, and internal structures. Here's a test panel (that's an aluminized glass face sheet), thinking of using some on the crewdeck with some clearcoat. Still messing with the layup, but its looking good.




Here's some 3k, I used a glass veil under the carbon as a bond layer with the nomex, it's a great bond and helped a lot with pinholes.



Wade and I spent the day infusing a carbon jeep hood. I havent messed with infusion much, it's definitely a cool process. Have to go pop the part in a little bit here, and we'll see how it turned out.
