Now that the weather has warmed it's time to complete covering the bottom of the hull... this time with 1708...over the top of the seams. probably not the best choice since the hull is so flat and has such a wide surface area. It has taken alot of resin, sanding and effort to get things glassed.
Its tough stuff and I do like how it is coming along on the build but is a real pain to fair and sand. Very labour and material intensive. I don't recommend for those reasons. Fortunately I only did the bottom and up to the water line.. the rest is lighter fabric. Anyways, got the runners on and I see the light coming at the end of the tunnel.. should be ready for paint and a flip very soon..
Oh my! What have I gotten myself into... I don't think the 1708 was such a great choice of cloth, although I was sold by the merits of its toughness! Hopefully, I will never need to test the strength!
The oak runners are bedded down and screwed into place with Sikkaflex waterproof construction sealant.
