Default Re: Here We Go Again

Pictures showing the mold with lay up complete. There are 4 layers of 1/2 ounce matt and 4 layers of 1708. The corners were reinforced with 4 inch 1708 tape.



All cured and ready to be popped out. My kids gave me a little help with this part. I told them it's kinda like a Christmas present when you cant wait to see what you have inside.



As you can see the edge with the bigger radius was still a little wet and gooey. Thus all the fibers. This was the edge were I used the brown Oven craft clay. It was a wet (water based) clay and I think the moisture leaked into the glass in this area. It's not as bad as it looks and will sand out easily once I dry that edge.

More pics




All in all I'm happy with the way it turned out and I'll hopfully be glassing it to the transom this weekend.
