j looking good so far. i used a mold release paste wax on the pvc. is the plywood a temp mold or is it your core? i was able to add a support made out of starboard under the cap where the old console was at the top of the vent box.

Well, I picked up some 3" wide packing tape and coated the pvc boards with that. Laminated up 2 woven and 3 3oz csm. The mold popped right off and NO release agent cleanup! I started doing the backside.

Here's a question: Is CSM significantly weaker than an oriented cloth? I have a pretty big roll of CSM someone gave me that I'd like to use up. I'm all out of woven :(

Kneedeep, just thinking about the support. Did you stack the starboard horizontally, like a thick shim on top of the vents? Thanks

here's a pic of the supports. on the front vent box you can put them on both sides. dam i need to start washing under the cap.

That support is easy enough. I'm looking to order some fairing compound, what would be suitable. I'm thinking i'm gonna gelcoat instead of paint. Quickfair sounds awesome but I'm not sure how gelcoat will play with it.

any updates on your project

Did you guys ever finish the projects?
 

Just wondering if you ever finished the conversion of the Sceptre to CC?
