Deck is
bagged(200g Twill carbon, 130g plain glass + patches) and initial
sanding is almost finished. Next up is to fill a few low spots I should
have filled before glassing but couldn't be stuffed, then a finishing
coat for polishing.
I glassed(2 x 130g plain glass +
patches) the hull old school(not
bagged) and everything was sweet until some gassing of the dcell
combined with some crimped glass to form a few bubbles. Yet more repair
work. The newer surfboard glass(130g) seems to use smaller glass
bundles(and have larger openings in the weave) which leaves more resin
on the layup table. I think the layup might have been on the dry side
as a result which doesn't help. I probably should have glassed the hull
on the board then feathering the 2 layers around the rail would have
been easier.
There are a few tricks I tried for the hidden (under carbon) inserts which worked well.
