nice work so far

 

[Brenden]

thanks luke
i gots some blingg on today
today i laid up some 10oz e glass down first with a strip under the hood lip
then i put some 5 oz carbon over it
it went pretty well actually and was reall fun

i got some strands here and there and the stuff around the hood lip i will cut off once it dries

i did only the right side today and watched over it for awhile to make sure it all went well and there were no air bubbles

ill hit the other side tomorrow but im gonna add a strip down the bondline as it will take more of a beating than the other

and the pole bracket area will get done sometime as well

ive also got some leftover carbon and was wondering how easy it would be to wrap my nosepiece in it and make it look smooth

 

[yankeeboy]

idk looks good w/e








j/k nice job, now finish the other side :wave:

 

[Brenden]

trimmed up a bit

that lil bump you see is just reallly hard foam or gorilla glue that wouldnt sand down welll

Looks great!! I finally finished my ski today! It was a blast!

 

[Brenden]

thanks i got the other side to do today
and i may wake up tomorrow...yes X mas and do the bracket area

 

[Crab]

Very nice.

 

[Brenden]

so today i did the other side and it was a little bit more of a pain since i got air bubbles around near the foam

im assuming because it wasnt completely smooth
so what do i do about them...inject resin?? i got those lil clear plastic injectors that may work

this side got the same amount as the other side as well
1 layer of 10oz glass with some 5 oz carbon

 

[Zeon]

lookin good bro... get that thing done and bring it to daytona!

 

[Mike W]

Looking good so far.

 

[Brenden]

thanks guys
turns out the bubble sunk sorta but didnt stick to the foam
i may have not put enough resin in that area idk
i think im just leaving it as it is tho

 

[Brenden]

reinforcing done

i hit the bracket area with two layers of 10oz glass then with some 5 oz carbon kuz i ran outa glass...still drying now
but i mixed a lil more resin than i wanted to so i ended up wraping the nose piece in some carbon :biggthumpup::biggthumpup::biggthumpup:
also still drying and it will get hit with some clear later on :biggthumpup:

 

[IceRocket1286]
