Well i got one side partialy glassed, and the bases glassed to tray, i had problems on the right side getting the glass to hold over the two part foam on the end where i wrapped it, i might have to redo it, im doing it different on the left side, i thickened some epoxy and covered the 2 part foam, and let it set up then roughen it up,

ive got one side complete, was my first time realy dealing with eglass its real pitta, i learned the hard way u need to use more than 2 layers of this crap, putting one layer on and not letting it setup good before u put cf on is a pain, had problems wrapping around these tight curves and edges ive got. but its finaly turning out ok.


this edge here is where i was realy haveing a problem laying down





















these lil gems work wonders for getting all the airbubbles and excess resin outta glass, can get theme at oreilys for a dollar or 2 a piece and clean up nicely with acetone.

Next time you have trouble holding a piece like that down, wrap it with Saran Wrap and tape the Saran Wrap to the hull holding pressure on the piece. It's like poor mans vacuum bagging.

Oh ok thanks bruce think ive read that on here one time, prob on one of your builds lol

It usually makes it smoother and easier to sand as well.

Cool ill have to try it, the cf i laid last night went down real good but was mostly flat, except where i had to wrap over top of hold, plus i set some heaters up around me, been cold here in the evenings

Should i get what resin i can outta glas before i put saran wrap on

Heaters are great. You can point them at the glasswork to get the resin to kick as well. Yes I would try to squeegee out as much as you can without ruining the structure of the cloth in the process and then wrap with the saran wrap.

Thx bruce

How did you draw out the areas your cut from the back of the hull? Im still trying to figure a way to make sure I cut each one the same, and straight. Build looks great, hopefully I can lay my glass down as clean as you are.

 

[txsuperjetfreak96]

I just measured back 3" from the end on each side of hull then a mark on the center, then used a straight edge and connected the marks with pencil
