[QUOTE="Rat, post: 107713, member: 1914"] Last night after I posted I went out and laid the sole in. I had to wait for the glue on the cleats to set up, and I was going to wait until this morning, but I did it last night. Here's a picture of it from this morning: [ATTACH type="full" alt="sole glueing.JPG"]8622._xfImport[/ATTACH] So today I got the sides glued on and the glass laid in the cockpit. I laid out the dry glass and cut it to fit then I made my fillets using medium hardener so they would set up quickly, gave everything a coating of epoxy (with medium hardener again), waited until it was all tacky and then laid the glass in and wet it out. Roz, my wife, helped me lay the glass in and I wet it out. 7 feet by 4 feet of 12 oz biax glass, I used just over 1 gallon of epoxy and had enough left over to coat the aft deck one more time and some touch up in a few places. [ATTACH type="full" alt="fillet.JPG"]8623._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="cockpit glass fit.JPG"]8625._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Cockpit glass.JPG"]8624._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="glass wetted out.JPG"]8626._xfImport[/ATTACH] Forecast is for rain for the next three days.
