Hey all! Sorry I havent updated in a while, I promise you I'm not dead, or giving up yet! Its just been cold out here in the Mile High City and I didnt want to glass at 30F.
Before our cold snap I did get the wood blocks cut, edges rounded, and PB to the cap with clamps to hold it in place. I just used my finger to round out the fillets on the sides and didnt put any resin or glass over the top. Once these cured I removed the clamps and cleaned up the extra hairs and resin to have a smoothish surface. This was all probably 2 weeks ago? maybe more :facepalm: :sleeping:
Yesterday we hit 60 during the day so I decided to lay up the Tower Mounts last night. Thanks to everyone's advice, it went WAY smoother than I thought it would have.
What I decided to do was mix up some resin, add some milled fiber (cabosil, resothix, whatever you call it) just to have it get a little more jelly like. It also helped that the resin was a little cold. Then I used a chip brush to brush out the wood and hull that I had cleaned and prepped. I put on just enough that it was covered, but not so much that it started running.
I had precut my glass and so wetted out the back with the thickened resin and then pressed it onto the cap and wood. I just used my hands to get it snugged up and then rolled the resin through the glass from the underside, no resin on top. After I did all 4 mounts I went back and looked for any dry glass, and then used the chip brush to gently wet out.
Overall, not too difficult, not too exciting, but progress is progress, and I was a little nervous about how the upside down glassing would go. Thanks to you guys for your input! :hail:
Nest up is the foam under the floor, install the gas tank, then drop the cap, cut and glass the seat bases and paint the floor. Much slower now that winter is here and its dark and cold by the time I get home from work, but I still plan on chugging along as best we can! :tea: :boink:
