Post 41 looks really good, was gona paint mine green!
Anyway been on with the project, and here I am so far
First job is to cut the small 3" strips of glass tape, enough to go between each cable tie, we laid these out to avoid confusion. We mixed up enough glue for one side (by judgement) and painted each piece of glass tape with the epoxy until it was wetted out
Ensuring you get right into the tricky corners
(note the brace still in position)
Once this has been left for at least 24hrs it is the moment of truth!!! Cutting the cable ties!
Once you have cut one and the whole boat hasn't sprung apart like a jack in the box cut the rest off
Then it is time for classing the full seams. To do this we cut full length strips of glass tape, enough for both seams on one side. We then rolled this back up and starting from one end slowly laid the tape in place and brushed on the epoxy as we went. 2 people are needed here
Here you can see both seams on one side glassed, we have left it at this point to dry, and will then do the other side in the same way. (sorry there are no pictures of the seam glassing in operation, we really needed subedarmajor to take some photos!)
I will get some when we glass the other side.....
