Ring- a tip on the the fairing block. Instead of using regular sandpaper get the stuff for the belt sanders and cut it to fit the fairing block. The belt sandpaper is really tough and lasts forever.

Big Mike- yes I moved two towns over to Oakley about 1/2 mile from the river. Yes there are some animals being neglected. Funny you say that. While I was out fishing with my brother on Friday a client had a horse go down. Kinda ruined my day. It's hard for me to take a day off and enjoy myself.

I could not stand it any longer so tonight I removed the cinder blocks and 3/4" mdf from the floor to see how it came out.



You can see in the right side of the pic were I screwed up and cut the panal wrong. That piece in the middle should have been near the stern like the one in the left of the pic. Now I have one more seam to fill. Aside from that everything looks good. The panals stuck down nice and clean. There was only one small area in a corner were I had to inject some resin.



Tomorrow it will be solid too. The seams will get ground out slightly and a layer of glass will be laminated over them. Then they will be faired smooth.
