and booms... Am just waiting for the nice weather to hit

FBBB,
A few weeks ago I got half way through fixing some storm damage to
the Light Scooner Margaret Ellen, but the weather turned cold again
and left me with a patch installed in the side panel, but not yet
glassed and the mast step incomplete.
Well finally we got some weather and I was able to complete the
repairs. The nice thing about working with slow-cure on a mild day is
you've got plenty of time to work with the goop. I got the patch
glassed, then cut a piece for the mast step and was still able to mix
filler into the resin to make a good glue. Then I mixed in a little
more to bring it to a nice filleting texture and did a little touch
up here and there around the boat. Since I had her on her side, I
took the opportunity to put a fresh coat of bottom paint her too.
Tomorrow she'll go back on the trailer and I'll fill and fair the
glass. She should be painted by the end of the day and ready for the
first sail of 2004!
YIBB,
David

A few weeks ago I got half way through fixing some storm damage to
the Light Scooner Margaret Ellen, but the weather turned cold again
and left me with a patch installed in the side panel, but not yet
glassed and the mast step incomplete.
Well finally we got some weather and I was able to complete the
repairs. The nice thing about working with slow-cure on a mild day is
you've got plenty of time to work with the goop. I got the patch
glassed, then cut a piece for the mast step and was still able to mix
filler into the resin to make a good glue. Then I mixed in a little
more to bring it to a nice filleting texture and did a little touch
up here and there around the boat. Since I had her on her side, I
took the opportunity to put a fresh coat of bottom paint her too.
Tomorrow she'll go back on the trailer and I'll fill and fair the
glass. She should be painted by the end of the day and ready for the
first sail of 2004!
