john......gotta be some sort of weird interdimensional garage thing.....

i open one ...it evaporates......

i lease some there....send my guys there..(employees to deliver stuff)...and it disappears.......

ive also found beer make you do really strange things....like sitting in an empty hull with your hands on an imaginary steering wheel...making motor sounds....

now if i could just twich my nose and all the grinding would be done.

lol

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

climbed back on the proj again last night.....did another 5 hours grinding....i had to get all the resin out from the bucket i kicked over. plus i had to rough and scuff the entire strech section...now 10 feet long....

that means grinding over 100 sq feet....if you wanna know what that is like....take a permanant fine tip felt pen ....and color the entire inside of the hull....then take a pencil eraser...and erase the whole thing...then repeat the process.
it was 10 30 before i got the first layer of glass in place and cut. ready to add resin.....

just a note....when wetting out really thick pecies of glass.....use a lot of resin to wet them out.....(im not using a wet out board...because the sheets are so heavy after wetting, the cloth streches when i pick them up...and at 10 feet long..one person cant handle the peice)......after the area is fully wetted out....lay the glass and roll it into place with no resin on the roller...use lots of pressure to saturate the glass....

after its saturated as much as possible..then add resin to the roller as needed.

i thought i was using a colder cure last night...but 3/4 way thru the layup the resin in the tray started to flash...so im gonna have to go colder yet.

ill be back on it tonight...and again tommorow...i am hoping to have the transom in and just possibly the stringers...if murphy doesnt show up!

You got any Snow, or Ice out there,..??..??

If so,.... Nest your pan in a bigger 1 full of Ice.... That'll Slow it Down.....

 

[oops!]

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

weve been really hot here lately 10 deg cel. around 45 or 50 i think...
so the snows all gone from the yard in working in....but as soon as i saw what was starting to happen... i opened up the big garage door and brought the temp down to 50. from 72

the resin i have is blue.....when it starts to turn ...it changes color to a goldish dark amber.....when that happens......you work your assets off even harder.!

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

i got back on the boat tonight.....

more glassing....i have pic's and will post them if any one wants...just ask...i thought the glassing pic's were getting boring....

it was the final layer of glass on the inside of the hull before the stringers and tramsom go in....however....! im debating on doing a full hull lay up before the strings ...just cause all the grinding i had to do on the hull... i mean why not make it stronger...right?...but its such a pita ! ill have dale from safara look at it tommorow and see what he says.

i did 3 lay ups tonight...(no grinding.) it took me 4 hours....

this last over lap was 20 inches fore of the last lay up and a quarter way up the transom. plus i did another matt layer on the extensoin part of the keel. this layer was just for bulk in the keel.

again my hands are raw...bodys sore ...and when i got off the hull my clothes were soaked....literally......i was wearing my goggles and resporator mask and i was swetting so bad water was pooling in my goggles....

tommorows job...do some minor grinding....install the transom and laminate the stringers.......if i can...either get a layer of the biax down over the whole hull....or bed a stringer or two.

ill be posting pic's of the transom install as well as pic's on building the very long stringers tommorow night

cheers

The more the better when it comes to the strength of the hull. It will need lots of strength to withstand the tork of rowing back to shore with a waterski.

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

It's gonna suck towing all that extra weight with the 383 and the extra 5 feet of the new hull and all with a rope in your teeth doin the backstroke.

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

Maybe with all that extra room you can take a cot and sleeping bag and just spend the night on the lake
