27th July

Sorry not much news over the last few days but nothing happened over the last few days.  Weather was very good so was painting houses and grouting and going to barbecues in the park.  Today was supposed to rain so jumped into Nuts with some sand paper.  My favorite task!!  Sanded the joints between the frames and stringers and the plywood sides in preperation for smoothing fillets.

Did some fillets which are mostly for cosmetic purposes as they have 50%glass beads (50% cabosil) for easy sanding as suggested by my friend Jim.  There was no slump and could make quite a runny mix for good wetting out.  The original glue mix  was smoothed out with a finger for a small structural fillet when the ply was glued on .

I dont want any sharp corners inside the boat which is why I routed all the frames and stringers with a 6mm radius before construction started.  Also all the plywood was pre impergnated with epoxy and peelply on the inside before fitting. 

Got a good system for making filler squeezing bags using our chamber vacuum sealer.  I should start icing cakes😎
