Spar: Steps 3 and 4

Lots of Fun! Microed The Urethane pieces down. Really using those Sandbags!




Glassed Forward PVC foam pieces on the spar (Step 3) with peel ply on the edges. They look great.


Finally, the feature of today's work, the dreaded inside layup of Step 4. I looked around other build logs before starting this and noted that most people spent around 7 hours on this layup. With my dad and I laying glass and my mom mixing epoxy, we tackled this beast in 4.5 hours. That makes me feel pretty good! As others noted getting the one layer of BID to stay on the side was a real pain, but we managed. I'm very happy and am satisfied with the end result. I'll knife trim it tonight.


Step 4 really wore me out, my brain's aching as I write this so I won't be anything else today.
