Default Re: 20' SF mods

Well its been a while but work is coming along slowly but surely.

It was slow at first b/c I didn't have a nice dry place to work but now I have that taken care of things are starting to move along.


This is just the two part foam I poured in.


After I got it all poured, I sanded it down even and then mixed some resin and filler to fill any voids.


This is the first layer of 1708 going on the stringers. I now have them both glassed with 1 layer of 1708 and will post some pictures soon.


Here is a picture of the cap. I cut the sides off so I widen and make bolsters with rod holders under them.


Thats all the pics for now, but I have a few questions. When I glassed the first layer of 1708 down with vinylester there are places when it didnt bond good. I was planning on drilling a small hole through the glass and with a squeeze bottle fill the voids with some thicked resin. Also I was planning on laying down 2 layers of 1708 the way that the picture shows above. Should I lay the cloth down different on the second layer so I dont create some sort of break point or will I be fine. Thanks for the help everyone and I will post some more updates soon. I'm sure many will chime in, so before its brought up I will be raising the stringers. Thanks again.
