Jaysen's V12 -- 'Lil Bit' of everything fun

[Jaysen]

How much did you strain yourself not typing "you forked it up dinglebat"?

I really don't want to use premix (because I'm stupidly stubborn) but I may need to do that on the next one.

[Fuzz]

Over the years I have made some world class screw ups so I will not throw rocks at someone for minor set backs. If your mix was correct it could be a temperature problem One good thing about having to work indoors year around is I have pretty consistent working temperatures.
All that being said it was tempting

Yes, that's masking tape holding the breasthook in place. And yes that's glue EVERYPLACE BUT IN THE SEAM!!!

Fork me I just gave Fuzz ammo.

Fuzz, the temp did dip, but that's relative. It's 68. I'm using the same measure that I use for fast. It's only the slow that is being ... slow. I did recheck the stuff I did with slow 48jr ago, hard as a rock. It must just be that I've forget how slow slow is.

Different topic: any reason I can't mix silica and wood flour to reduce sag in the glue?

If it's going to be painted - don't worry about it.

Nope, that's the good thing about mixing your own - mix and match as you need it.

I am pretty sure epoxy works different down under. That is the only explanation for Glossie's work.

Silly me and here I was thinking that was a redneck anchor roller

Blend your fillers any way you want to get the job done.

The redneck solutions will start showing up in about 2 weeks. Much beer will need to be held. Much watching of "this" will be done. Mrs is upping the insurance payout

Bateau needs to sell a T shirt with the BBC logo and the slogan

Sand until a boat shows up -- Cracker Larry

That just happened.

Mast partner basic shaping completed. A bit of fill will need sanded and some edges eased, but ... there it is





And looking aft...


Really all that's left is filling voids and smoothing a bit.

While I'm not done, the end is very near. I should be able to get all the fillets and any glass I decide to lay on today. I'm rethinking the glass as JM build notes say nothing about glassing anything other than the hull and frames. Probably a good idea, but at this point, getting her in the water is a really good idea too.

Remaining steps for today.
1. straight epoxy a few places that got sanded through.
2. Silica fillets and gap filling
3. Rub rail touch ups (shape and a few gaps I found)
4. Glass or not
5. Start masking for primer

[Fuzz]

Good deal! You have been on her long and hard so I am sure it is good to see it coming to an end

Bad part is if you get this done who am I going to have to razz
