Progress is very good now as the tub has been gelled,the laminates cut and this evening the tub has been fully glassed.
This first shot shows how the gelling went and the glass ready to apply.
The second shot shows how to combat laminate slump as the tub kind of returns back on itself.
Once wet out glass is quite heavy and gravity will always do its best to spoil your fun so what we do is cut little sections and then pull them back on the outside of the mould and then masking tape the bits back.
Go around the danger zone and we end up with this.
This will not affect the curing of the glass in any way BUT will help you do it once and do it correctly.
Just a simple thing to do but not generally thought of when glassing an awkward section.
Working like a loon all of the glassing was completed with two buckets of resin and a bit of elbow grease in 1 1/2 hrs.
Finally we end up with this.
Once trimmed it will be left in the mould for at least ten days but the next bit coming to you will be the releasing of the main body section which has now cured and is ready to pop out.
If you want to see that going on then come back Monday evening and see if I make a complete goon out of myself or whether it does come out as planned (OH dear god dont fail me now
)See you later boys.
cheers
