I just made a few finishing touches to the shaping today, just cleaned it up and took a bit more of the rails. My initial intentions was to have really hard sharp performance rails but even using a profile gauge I've found it really hard to know when I need to take more off and when to stop, guess that will come with a bit more experience though.
I'm using Iso X7 resin and glass both from Seabase. The resin is what I have left over from making my 5'5" and was already mixed with SunCure so I laminated the bottom THEN figured out I didnt have enough left for the deck lamination. My main reason for using Suncure so far is that it gives you plenty of time to play about and takes all the pressure off compared to using MEKP, I had about a litre of X7 left so I decided that it was time to do my first lamination with MEKP.
I've been timing myself when using Suncure and I did the bottom lam in 12 mins so I should of been fairly confident but I still had a rush of adrenalin as I added the catalyst to the resin but I suprised myself and everything went really well. I did the deck lam in 14 mins and did quite a good job!
Really happy with the way things have gone on this board so far, I've made a couple mistakes but nothing drastic.
Gonna instal the Lokbox fin boxes tomorrow. :)
