Kitty needs a nose job

[The Penguin]

I don't remember what I did to break this - but I hope I had fun doing it :biggrin:

any suggestions for how to fix it?

so far I've sanded down front and back and right now have a piece of 2" ribbon stuck on the backside and drying - so hopefully that will give me a place to start.

Ask Madmat...I think he used elmer's glue in Daytona:laugh2:

 

[The Penguin]

OK - so the cardboard and foil were a bad idea :biggrin:

I thought the foil would peel right off the glass - wrong.

Anyway, after the first layer of backing dried, I went ahead and filled in the missing piece with some West Systems mixed very thick with 404 and laid another piece of 2" tape on the outside.

tonight I'll sand it down and place another layer using 4" tape folded over the lip and extended out about 4" from each side of the repair. I'll follow that up with another sanding and then a piece the runs around the entire nose.

maybe it will hold up for a while

On my old SJ I have made a metal band that I lay in the glass work, then cut the lip to the same size of the side.. made it look like slimmer nose.

Rushing into the beach to get the free ice cream?

when I had to reubild my hood seal lip area on my RN, I used card board covered in duct tape. It worked alright.

Chasing Moondance?

 

[Moondance]

Vitaly...I like you & would like to meet you someday. Don't go ruining that by posting such bs:loser:

 

[The Penguin]

I agree with moondance.

however, I must point out that it would not be much of a chase. :biggrin:

the first thing you shoudl do to a square nose is cut the overhang on the front of the nose almost completely off..its WAY longer than a roundnose and acts like a lever and will snap off quite easily..i would have just trimmed it..it broke off to about where it needs to be trimmed too....my buddy and i spent allot of time building a nice square and he wouldnt listen to me about trimming it that far up..he just trimmed an inch or so off and it snapped off just like i told him it would....and in case you dont believe me this is an old trick that JK and taylor curtis used to do to thier squares back in the old days

this hull only needs to last a few more months...I hope. :biggrin:

by then maybe my RN will be done, and then I can spend some time on this one. In the meantime - it's summer and I don't need any more projects right now

so just take out a jig saw and trim the nose off to where it is already broken strait across..done deal...no need for glasswork

I got this tip From Rickster....

Use the foil backed 3M tape, make it so that you are glassing onto the adhesive side of the tape. After whatever you are working on has cured, the foil part will peel right off, and you can acetone and wipe away the adhesive that is left (If any even sticks... not alot did for me) Also, that foil tape can be layered so make it stiffer if need be.

do you come onto the beach too fast and hit a red F150?
