Had to stop watching half way through the glare off that bald head was blinding me. Job well done.

Hi Jeff
Yes it's in Ogdensburg, just haven't picked it up yet. UPS used to have an app on their site to advise if the order had been received. It's no longer there. All's good buddy.
Cheers!
Yours Aye! Rick

Hey Fellas & Gals
I managed to work myself ahead in YT video's so we put the camera's down for awhile and decided to knock out some jobs. Our latest venture was glassing the aft cockpit panels that will be permanently attached. And, you know it's going to get busy when the Admiral is preparing lists. Here's ours checked off.
Step 1: Sand and wipe down everything. It got dusty.
Lori even jumped in to do the corners! Facebook VIdeo
I estimated we would use about 1 gal of epoxy. The glass we used is a 28 oz/sq yd quadaxial because it's what we have in leftover pieces large enough to get the three main areas done. The panels with red tape on the edges will be semipermantenly removable.
Looking over the finished job.
I think she's happy we're done! Certainly went a lot faster with two of us pre-wetting and rolling out the glass & peel ply. Alone probably would have taken me 3-4 hours. Both of us together knocked it out in about an hour.
It was warm in the boat shed about 90 degs F so even with slow hardener we had to scramble. Made it through without any epoxy kicking off on us! I'm just a little bit tired. Being Canadian and the fact our igloos just melted last week 90 degs is a wee bit warm on this old fart.
Thanks for lookin in. Hope you're all well and happy and building boats.
Cheers
