thank you captain obvious - i know there is a lot of work ahead :wiggle: sometimes just can't get help to commit. its ok - still cold as hell here and lake is frozen over. now that the 2 layers of glass are on the gelcoat, i can use the lay-some-and-walk-away approach as you stated. as you...

he probably said "screw this" after the bottom plug/mold. i know i'm about to... haha (nah just messin'). any pictures to share of the build up of the hull itself like IceMan posted of use Lenzi hull? Was cool to see the layup / process.

once the gelcoat was laid down and setup, it took about 5 hours to lay down the 2 layers of chopped mat (working solo and TIRED). i made the mistake of spraying the gelcoat at around 10pm. the first layer took awhile, as i took my time to make sure there was zero air bubbles or gaps between the...

some progress... I sanded through the Duratec in spots, but that's ok - everything polished up nicely and is consistent to the touch. Stopped at 1000 grit (wetsanding) and put down 4 coats of wax total. Then the few coats of PVA (green looking film below), which drys and is a thin film...

ya good call - i was going off the adapter/funnel.

looking like a full spectrum to me...

Dont let go of the ski

lol - nice guys. the couple spots i have drilled into the rickter, no core. however, i will be drilling a couple holes in the bottom pretty soon here (i'll explain why later). i will be able to tell really quick if they are using a core, and also curious of the thickness. i highly doubt though...

beautiful - thanks for sharing Wavedemon! Yes, I know when Gel Coat is used, it is common to use chopped mat to fit into all the tight corners/contours, before fabric is laid down. I agree, I like .75oz chopped over 1.5. I DO know what my mold layup will be: MOLD LAYUP Orange Tooling...

I have used Duratec before on a previous build attempt - awesome stuff for sure. I will be taking your advice on jumping from 400 to 1000 - you are right, it is the bottom and I could be here for days if I really wanted to working out imperfections. I plan on painting my final part, so the...
