10th July

Laminated port side this afternoon.  It took about 1.3 L of epoxy resin (still have about 500mm on bow to do).  All covered with peel ply which adds to the epoxy consumption.  After dinner prepared peel ply for starboard side glassing tomorrow afternoon. 

The peel ply is taped on the bottom and I roll it down as I move along and wet it out properly.  That way I do all the laminating and epoxy mixing by myself with no stress and rush.  Just slowly move from the transom towards the bow.  I mix 160 ml of epoxy at a time.  High humidity here in the Azores at the moment so got the workshop all closed up with dehumidifier going.  I can feel the difference when I leave the workshop.  Thanks Jim for the donation to the project.  The metal roller was put to good use today.  Got to get the correct handle for the rollers.
