Christmas has arrived here in Quepos! Full box of Corecell, only a little over 2 months on a boat to get here, but today was a good day! And we hit the ground running, cutting out all the bulkheads and glassing 4 of them!
Yes sir, I'll take a box of that one!
Sorry, i get so excited seeing the foam come in. This was several months of saving, I was so depressed when i used up the last piece of my foam last year, and gettting more in today really made today a good day!
Here's us taking the bird cages and tracing out the bulkheads on the foam. When we do this, we always trace outside a little bit. That makes the foam bigger than where it goes. Then we try to put the foam in place, and mark with a construction pencil where it touches first. Then with a little 32 grit and a wood block, sand down the line where it touched and stick it back in, and repeat and repeat until we get a tight fit. After the thing fits, then we are glassing them, 2 1708's on each side. Usually you leave a 6 inch section on the bottom of the blukheads that only has one 1708 and it gets the 2nd 1708 when you tie it in, but I'm going to bulk these up a little bit as I've been making everything light and I want these to be indestructable. Here's us tracing the birdcages onto the foam:
