1568.5Hrs – Time Flies When You’re Having Fun!
I really really enjoyed todays work session. I’d really only planned to spend a couple of hours at the barn but once I’d started I kind of got sucked in and ended up doing far more than I’d thought I would. I’m feeling it tonight though! I think there are some very neglected boat building muscles that got a real shock today, not least from hauling all the concrete blocks I used to weigh down the glued polystyrene!
Anyway what I achieved today was cutting and fixing of the longitudinal strengtheners and glueing of the polystyrene sandwich material to the first layer of ply. It all went according to plan although its a long while since I mixed such a lot of epoxy in one day but, as has been stressed by others, it’s essential to make sure that the polystyrene is well glued.
You will be surprised by the strength of the piece you have just done.
