Reinforcing a Square Nose

@smoofers did you grind the ribs from the pole area out? , im reinforcing my sn right now but i dont want to grind to much away , thank you!

If I recall correctly I ground out some of the ribs but not all. Post #27 shows a partial pic of that area. I know its a giant pain to get a grinder in there and that limited how much I took off. I'm pretty sure I filled some of the weird spots in that area with thickened epoxy so I could have a smoother surface to lay the glass on. Just make sure you re-scuff the thickened epoxy after it cures, before you lay down your glass.

I can't believe that was 10 yeas ago now, lol.

Grind out the little ones and cut your mat/cloth around the larger ribs. Use filler to smooth where needed as smoofers said.
