Here is an update for those rod and storage box covers. Again did I tell you how I hate doing corners. :deadhorse:
First picture here is the rod box covers and the front storage lid that I covered yesterday. You can see the hair hanging off then yet.
And here is one of the rear storage covers waiting for its hair cut. I usually clamp them onto my outside work table and then use an angle grinder with a 36 grit flapper disk to remove the over hanging fiberglass.
Another shot from the other side before the hair cut.
An a shot of the angle grinder. This angle grinder is the basic cheapest DeWalt angle grinder you can buy. But thus far it has done all the grinding work on this entire boat, trailer and engine project. I actually bought two others that are the better models DeWalt makes, but I haven't used them because this one is still going strong.
And here is that same cover after its hair cut. As you can see I usually give the entire fiberglass work a nice going over to remove and prickly points and make it relatively smooth.
And this is the inside the will get CSM and colored Polyester today....I hope. Al the inside has been rounded over using PB and a trimmed down and shaped auto body filler spatula.
And here are the box covers with their hair cuts and smoothed out. Once the insides are CSM and poly colored, they are finished except with the hinges installed.
So hopefully I can work with the heat today and get the insides finished.
You all have a great day. :thumb:
