Epoxy, sanding, and more epoxy

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

We put the ribs in the body over the weekend and are now sanding the epoxy in preparing of putting on a second layer of kelvar in places. After learning from the practice body, these ribs fit very well with the top of the body. The body is upside down in the mold and later this week we plan to put the bottom on the body. The nose will also be added to the body this week so that the shape is nearly complete.
