Project Log: Sunday, June 3, 2012
I didn't spent a lot of time on the boat, but wanted to
continue the structural work on the new steering
cylinder support. After preparing the surfaces in
the usual way, I installed three layers if biaxial
tabbing beneath the support platform, tying it in with
the bulkhead and giving it significant support from
beneath. I discovered as I started wetting out the
pre-cut layers with epoxy that I'd used my pattern the
wrong way, so the material was "upside down", as it
were; I didn't want to waste the resin, and it didn't
really matter which direction the material faced in this
instance, so with the mat side facing out, the end
result was a little rattier looking than usual.
I'd clean that all up, as usual, once the fiberglass
cured. |

In the main cabin, I deemed the varnish work acceptable
and removed the tape, grateful to finally have the
finishing complete in that space. |
