Just another ply on the pipes today. Now they are hollow I made really solid holding blocks so I can lock the pipes at any angle. You see this in pic 1. Just in the shot are the large pieces of glass I’m using.
Rather than trying to get an exact size sorted I’m wetting out the pipes and draping a big piece of bid over the top. Then I’m free to get it to conform just using this one piece without pleating several times. It should be stronger this way even if I waste a little glass.
Pic 2 and I have them carefully covered in peel ply and pic 3 is my rough heat box. That gas heater is on 100% and its pretty toasty in there. It cures the glass in a few hours and I’ll be fine for sanding the pieces tomorrow for the next step.
