Yesterday was another ply of glass after the usual clean up. You don’t need any pics, it looks the same as ply 3. All up there were 2 plies, then I cut and cleaned the pipes and taped them at the rejoin. Then another two plies one top. The plys are a bit thicker than usual as I overlapped 1-2″ where I could. That said, after three ply they didn’t feel strong enough. This morning with the 4, I had really rigid pipes, what I was going for.
All up they weigh in at 15.5 ounces. Ouch, but this is a safety item I did not want to compromise. Pic 2 and after spending the day fitting both pipes and prepping, I floxed them in tonight. A lot of flox and a bit of peel ply at the transitions too. They should make the sides more rigid if anything.
Good to tick this one off the list.
Finally done
Floxed in place
Exit strake bottom, I hope
