The wrinkles in my cloth were still there but I was able to keep going back to them as the epoxy was setting and flattening them out so they are a lot less prominent than on the outside.<\/p>\n<p>It was a long job though so I didn&#8217;t get home until 2am. Wetting out the glass in the narrow areas of the stems was the most frustrating part of the build so far. It&#8217;s really difficult to do a tidy job of it. I&#8217;m really glad the decks will hide that area partially.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mykos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/inside-wet-out.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-291\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mykos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/inside-wet-out.png\" alt=\"inside wet out\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a board with notches in it to keep the hull held to the proper width during the glassing process. The cradle\/forms that it&#8217;s sitting in do a pretty good job of keeping the shape right, but they only go up half the hull so the beam at the shear line needed to be held open by 1\/2&#8243; or so. The spacer is waxed and notches lined with packing tape so it doesn&#8217;t get stuck to the epoxy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mykos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/inside-wet-out-2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-292\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mykos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/inside-wet-out-2.png\" alt=\"inside wet out 2\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mykos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/inside-all-wetted-out.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-290\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mykos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/inside-all-wetted-out.png\" alt=\"inside all wetted out\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was fibreglassing the inside of the hull.\u00a0 This time it actually felt like I knew what I was doing a bit.
