I have fully recovered from the water damage from the tarp failure.   I only have about 1 more hour of work to complete the laying in of the new balsa.  Wow what a hot and messy job, but I am getting pretty good with the resin now.   No more chemical burns after making sure I work form the farthest point in to the closest point making sure I don't reach over the wet resin.   Common sense right?  When you are hot and sweaty and things aren't going right while the resin clock is running you forget these things :)    Preparation before mixing the resin is very important.   I now only use a pint at a time.   It slows the pace down to where there is less panic factor and I do a much better job.

No pictures - I didn't want to ruin my phone with resin.  I will try to get a shot before next session while my hands are clean.

Tarp failure/ Disaster:  I see I neglected to post here about that.   A few weeks ago a storm damaged my tarp and it rained on the exposed wood!  I was cutting all of the wood first with plans to do all the glassing in a single step.  Totally destroyed all that work and I was almost done too.  Had to buy new wood and do it all over again.  I  now complete a section before moving to the next.  I also triple-tarped the thing now.  Nothing short of a tornado is going to get in there and I will be waterproof in a few days - finally!
