After an initial sanding of the hull, we glassed the flat part. We used some heavy bi-axiel glass from our scrap bin. A little more fairing was needed on the pontoons. This was done last night. Today we sanded the fairing material out then started adding a layer of mid-weight twill glass to the pontoons.

| We have 10oz twill cloth that overlaps the bi-axiel on the bottom. Once we glass the other pontoon the center of the flat will have one layer of 17 oz bi-axe and 2 layers of 10 oz twill so 37oz of glass. additional reinforcement will be needed on the interior of the pontoon/hull joint. There will be great stresses here at speed. We added red pigment to the epoxy for fun. The finished boat will be red. |
