I must like punishing myself

well after some laminating with some mat, mat,mat , 1708 it was time to bed the livewell.

I mixed up some potter putty put it in a caulk tube and squirted it around the parimeter of where it sitting I set the livewell and set 2 5 gallon buckets of water on it. I then tabbed it in with a layer of mat and 1708 to make sure it will never flex and separate from the console. I added a support between the livewell and front of the console to stiffen it up a little bit. I let it set over night and it was time to pop it off the table. to see what we had.


you can see the green edge around the outside of the front of the console, I put a big bead around the edge before the first layer of glass so I have an edge that I can radius instead of grinding glass out.


I cut a small hole in the livewell to take a peak in and be able to move it around. I will finish the cut,
I took a pic inside the livewelll to see the potter putty bedded around the edge

I am gonna put a piece of 1" coring under the livewell and build it up so it comes within a 1/8" of the floor so it will support itself.
