Prelude

It is the night before the boat opens. The core sound construction has you tack the bottoms and sides together at the front and then coax all three seams together using copper wire and then epoxy.
I had a very nice tour of MAS epoxies this afternoon. It is a nice tight family group of folks producing quality products. I got to sample a new filler material made from cellulose (paper pulp) which is much more friendly than the fly away colloidal silica. Also they have a new biodegradable wash for paint brushes. I'll let you know how this one works.
I also tried to fabricate a sprit from a non-functioning trash picked 8' glass fluorescent tube and some carbon fiber.
