Gary's GF18

[garym]

Got The foam installed


Had the helper do a little cleanup


Dry Fitted the sole


Coated the underside of the sole and would have had a beer with them but they are to young

[garym]

The sole is all glued down and I should have the screw holes filled this evening.
The plan is to tape the seams and sole to the sides of the hull tomorrow.

YAHOOOOOOO

[pee wee]

Congratulations! That's a good milepost, getting the sole glued down.

This is exactly what I need

[garym]

I think they will work for food.
Might sound good but they eat a lot.

Got a few hours in on Saturday. Taped around the outer edges of the sole and over the seams where the sole panels meet.
The plan is to do some sanding along the tape edges during the week and glass the sole by next weekend. After that I will start installing frames D & E.



The plan is to kiwigrip the sole. Will the 6" tape bump be noticeable through the Kiwigrip

[AtTheBrink]

I would fair that joint just to make sure it wasn't noticeable.

Those helpers of yours sure got the job done!

[garym]

They vansished shortly after the picture was taken.
Thanks for the advise. I'll knock all of the edges down b4 I glass the sole. After the sole ia glassed will see what it looks like and then fair if necessary.

Thx

Gary

Here's the weekly update.
Glassed in Frames D&E. Sanded and coated the interior spaces with the 1st coat of pigmented epoxy.
Not sure how some of you guys work so neat and clean. I have drips, lumps. bumbs and smears every where I look.
I must be the biggest slob on the planet.



Off to Orlando for the week for some cool weather. Its hot here in New York

I'll have to work extra hard when I get back.
