the shop is actually our construction warehouse and since constuction here is door nail DEAD, i made some space and time to get started.
i'm planing to install the new transom core this morning. the temp here is around seventy and my medium cure epoxy seems to really like that
i built the core on monday. it's two layers of 3/4 marine that i had treated and dried last month. i put one layer of 1708 between then screwed it together before setting about 800lbs of various containers of drywall mud and paint buckets on top to hopefully force it flat. i let it set for three days before ATTEMPTING to raise it off the floor. the epoxy that oozed out and onto the floor really bonds well to concrete!
