Default Re: motor is here!

Tashmoo I took the grinder an hit both sides of the transom about 3 inches down on both sides. I cut some mat to lenght. THe first peice was 3 inches wide and the next was 5 inches wide . I wet them out on a piece of cardboard and let them sit for a couple of minutes for the resin to start breaking down the starches in the mat. then I laid the skinner one on first rolled it a little bit then set the wider one on and rolled it all out. Once mat is wetted out it can make pretty sharp turns before the strands start popping out. after it set up I hit it with 40 grit to knock and goobers off than started fairing it out with quick fair. Dont use cloth by itself you will be able to peel it off after it sets up. I wiped the surface down real good with acetone before I laid the glass up this helps the polyester resin absorbed in the plywood.
