Long cuts require less cuts, which i why we did it that way haha

I am so sick of sanding lol. I sanded for 3 hours so far and still have more to go. Prep work for glass sucks. Then I have to sand more after glass!

What does the glass bubbles do?

 

[lawmaster891]

I mix the glass bubbles with resin to use as body filler. Makes it easy to sand

Oh really?! That's sweet, how does it work though?

 

[lawmaster891]

I mix in the glass bubbles in with the resin to a peanut butter like consistency. The glass bubbles look like powder. I use a plastic squeegee to spread it over the fiberglass I laid. Then you sand it smooth. From what I have read it works and holds up better then using bondo. Gives a nice finish for prepping for paint on areas you fiberglassed.

Thanks. Your build has pretty much been the study guide for this build.

I removed the foam from the inside of the hood today and sanded the inside so tomorrow I can hopefully start laying glass on the inside of the hood. I will take pics of it tomorrow.
For the angle yes i measured 4 inches back and made a mark. Then i made marks on each corner and used a straight edge to connect the dots. Be careful using a grinder to make the cuts it is very easy to go past where you wanted to stop the cut lol.
I threw the pole away. I have a hazard bracket and will be using a RN aftermarket pole. Haven't decided on which pole I want yet. I may get an rrp pole. I have just been setting aside $100 a week for my pole fund till I find a pole I want and have enough funds saved up.

i have felt a RRp pole... THEY ARE HEAVY!!!! i do not know why people like them and they are super expensive.... Light weight and tough... go aluminum

"Light weight and tough...Go aluminum"?

All RRP poles are made of aluminum... If you ever rode a ski with a RRP you would know they feel lighter then stock when installed because most of the weight is down low.
My stock pole would slam against to hood..with the same pole spring my RRP sits about 4-5 inches off the hood.

Too late now. Bought me a pole that cost more then my ski
