Well i kept going with it and got the top sheet on, it went ok.
So i wanted to get the bottom done and get the board going cos i don't have one yet and want to get out practising.
So i put down the first sheet of glass and mixed up the resin. problem there was that i was going to use two lot of resin but when i measured it out i forgot all about this and put in double the amount of hardener in the single mix,,, OOOPS
So i had to get it spread and the glass down before it went off, in that 37 deg day, yes yes i know
.
It clumped up and i knew it would turn out a bit bad but went for it anyway.
It has a few voids in it as you can see but they are between the bottom ( outside layer) and the board. The outside is smooth with no dry spots.
So i kept going with it, ill probably wreck it anyway
I shaped it using a power plane then finished off the rail curves with
the hand sander you can see in the picture. I'm just going to give the
rails a hot coat and then that's all done.
Just need fins and straps now, i saw a cheap board but it was bought the day before so i have to wait to get the straps at least. Ill make some fins from aluminum.
I went out looking for wetsuit booties as i lost one of my el cheapo ones last lesson. Can you believe anaconda ones are $59, you gotta be kiddin me.
I went onto wetsuit wharehouse and got some for 29 with free shipping, at least something worked out ok.
Im spewing i missed out on that el cheapo board.
