| Last update for 2017. All the core is bagged in, and the backer cloth sanded off. Some hours were spent blending/sanding down the core at the floor registers for a good fit of the floor board. http://i63.tinypic.com/no9190.jpg http://i64.tinypic.com/2rn7e9s.jpg All wetted out and filled gaps http://... |

| I have been getting more core in, and the advise has helped. I pulled 9-10 lbs on the next core install. I went big on last weekends and only pulled 2-3 lbs, but i think because of the size of the area my pump couldnt pull hard enough. I dont know, but its down really solid and conforms well to the ... |

| Thanks for the cudos and response. Arltralite, I like the ideas. The aluminum on the underside has a few definite pros like distrubuting load, more pull-through strength, more placement options, ease of use. The only neg might be weight (over 1/4" stainless tnuts), bonding/glueing the aluminum ... |

I poked holes in the med wht. stuff over some peg board. Using paper towel as breather. Buytl tape type stuff sold for ... |

| This weekends progress was floor fitting, planning for seat, tanks, and batt location. Also tabbed in the knees to the inner transom, and gooed in the block for the drain plug. The block is old skin cut up, layered, and laminated with fiberous thickend epoxy. It will be drilled and coated on the ins... |

| Facebook sucks for motorsports. Its a place to showboat and make connections. When it comes to detailed info its hard to find and rely on. If you ask stuff you get arguments and trolls to the point you dont know who to listen too. Its works well for event/self promotion/and maybe selling stuff. Im j... |

| I couldnt think of a better way to be accurate when trimming down my stringers. Pain in the ass! But, with a little more file work its gonna be tight to the floor bottom. http://i67.tinypic.com/2m7963a.jpg I burt up one of my old dremels. Marine ply is dense stuff. http://i68.tinypic.com/dbqvrb.jpg |

| Nice! thanks for the link. I also found this one: http://www.krsuper2.com/vacuumbag.html Its very well written, and the thorough-ness in describing details i like. I will read yours next. If this vacuum bagging stuff works out good I figure an extra $100 bucks in supplies is well worth the boost in ... |

| I "found" a decent vacuum pump at work that seems to fit the bill for bagging. Im trying to figure out the rest and how to do it. I would be using it to put the core in. Im not sure if you would put the top glass in too, in the same bag, at the same time. So many questions. Im solid on the... |
