Slight change in plans with the cowl repair.

Ripped all the tape off last night, going to wax just the areas matching the repairs, mask the rest off, two layers of matting on and they will become my external patches for the holes.

I'll laminate those on then build up layers behind for strength, then sand it all back to shape with some blade putty to match the smooth gelcoat.

looking forward to it my friend.

What good is the rant thread if a person cant use a bunch of obnoxious, vile, filthy, hurtful language??? 


The profanity filter forces us to use creative word choices rather than a simple 'bucket-mouth' approach.

I hate it when I have to think. 

Rant over...
Over & Out!

[Electrojake]

And thank you peteGS for allowing me to vent.
Ranting about the rant-thread is very therapeutic.

  love your work EJ!!! Nothin' like a good rant to let off some steam and improve the mood 

4 coats of release wax, some PVA agent on, then 2 layer patches laid up on the loaner cowl last night...

peteGS... You never grow weary. Always pushing forward with the next phase of the project.

Quite commendable, mate! 

[yamahonkawazuki]

slightly rewritten: ahem,

"Twas the night before christmas
and Obama was shaking
Michele was doing some holiday baking

The ingredients were scattered this way and that
No sugar, No eggs No chocolate or fat

The children knew from past Christmas eves
that Michele's cooking would give them the heaves .

Obama raised his glass for a holiday toast
he started with "I don't want to boast"
But I spent more money than work on Pelosi's face
I apologized for America all over the place .

Over the past 2 years in every way
I worked to help only those
who had not worked a day.

Over in the corner a drunken Biden stirred
His face contorted and his speech slurred
America hates us for the damage we've done
How else could the tea party candidates have won?

Don't they realize that we know what's best ?
the damn morons would be in such a mess
Then he ended with this comment
Maybe we just take 100 percent .

Then out on the Whitehouse lawn there arose such a sound,
Secret Service began running around .

When, what to their wondering eyes should appear,
A fat , old , white haired man drinking a beer .
Smoking a cigar and looking at porn
Obama yelled "Clinton get the hell off of my lawn "!

In his trademark voice that is always hoarse
He looked at Obama and said "of course"
You are the Prez, Barack Hussein Obama
but maybe later I will visit your mama .

Then he called all the liberals by name;
Ted kennedy was dead, what a shame.

"Now, Schumer! now, Kerry! now, Reid and Pelosi!
Damn Nancy , you look just like Bella Lugosi

He sprang to his limo, the backseat was tight
Bottles were flying out as they drove out of sight
But they heard him exclaim, as he drove into the night ,

"Merry Christmas to all, and Santa is White ."

Wow I posted this 6 years ago lol

[peteGS]

Haha okey doke 

From afar I prefer Obama to the moron who's in charge now... but let's not start a political debate!!

EJ... yep I must get this done! I want to be riding by my birthday at the end of June next year, so I must keep going. The good thing is that as I complete each of these things, I can actually see it all start coming together. If I can get the paint done by say January, that gives me 5 months to sort the motor out. Sounds like a long time but the issue will be waiting for the $$$ to build up.

Patches made so now to break out the sanding discs to get the rest of the paint and gelcoat off those areas and start the repair work in earnest.

Timber support seems to be holding it reasonably symmetrical now, see how it is tonight when I remove it.

[peteGS]

It worked!! Screws removed and the left side maintained the correct shape with the patches in place 

Untitled by starpoint73, on Flickr

Added some extra strength behind them, and now the fun of sanding it all back and smoothing the patches begins...
