ready-set-glass

One interesting reality about building a Cat is that you tend to learn a little bit each time you do something. Since cats have two of a lot of things, the second piece of work that you produce sometimes ends up being nicer than the first........of course, that's not always the case.

Here, the small tidbit of knowledge I learned about laminating the centerboards is that having the glass pre-cut and ready for layup should make the process go quicker.

So......the first board took a solid 8 to 10 hours of flittering about; cutting glass, mixing and rolling epoxy and donning numerous sets of gloves....... Tomorrow I plan on vac bagging the second board and we'll see how long it takes.

Upper center: 30 layers of uni
center: 1 glassed board 1 to go
lower left:  12 oz biaxial
lower right:  4 pieces of 24 oz tri.
