GF16 In The PSL

[Noles309]

Finished glassing today. It came out pretty good I think. Yesterday was definitely smoother. I don't know if it was the temperature difference today (mid 80's) or if I was too close to the 24hr window for wet on wet, but it sure wanted to bubble today and didn't wet out near as well. I'm pretty happy with it.

sand on............

Very Clean, nice work

The epoxy will certainly wet out better when its warm. If its much lower than 60 degrees, i like to warm it up first (especially if wetting out somethign thick)

looking great Noles! You'll be ready for lobster season at this pace.

Thats an achievable goal I think Walker. Hope I'm done before that but we'll see.

I did make some progress today, sanded her down outside. Tomorrow I hope to get the runners and spray rails glued down. I have a couple of bubbles in the wide cloth, one on the corner of the transom and one on the corner of the bow transom. Nothing big though. I'm really happy with how it came out. Not bad for a first timer I think.

Thanks guys.

Not bad at all for a first timer Looks good. You are moving along fast, wish we could get some of that FL weather up here in GA.

Thanks Dave, your build is just off the chart in its level of fit and finish and Larry I'm on your thread daily especially when I'm ready to go to the next stage. This morning Its how you did your runners on the GF18.

As far as the weather, Its been a crazy winter for sure. We have run the a/c way more than usual this time of year. My son is up at Ft. Stewart and they have been in the field all week. Its been a pretty miserable winter up there for sure.

Thanks again guys.

That looks awesome Gary!

I know what you mean about this winter. We've had several 50 degree temperature swing in less than 12 hours this year. Two weeks ago I had two heaters running in the garage and today it's a sweat shop. I hope sweat drops on wet epoxy does affect how it cures .

Titelines,

Thanks Matt.

Today I got the runners glued on. I still need to do a little shaping on them. I hit them with a 1/2 roundover bit with the router. I am going to glass over them, hopefully tomorrow.
