If you're still having trouble getting the convex radius' to lay down, you could try adding some weight...rice in a stocking is a cheap, disposable way of doing this & you can add more or less rice to achieve the correct weight. If rice isn't heavy enough a sand bag also works well. This will work for straight lay ups (with plastic film) and/or bagging

What are you proposing to make the final hulls out of?

Thanks for the tip. They will be layed up in Epoxy. White finish, havent decided on Gelcoat or epoxy top coat... Probably gelcoat due to expense.

Sounds nice & strong

I was pondering CF with a natural finsh & let the painters at work go crazy!

Will be keenly following your progress

Haha.. my neighbor and I have discudded that same thing several times. Except just leaving it as a CF finish. Would look pretty "blingy"

One thing i do sometimes if the fiber glass won't lay down is put plastic over it (like a trash bag or something a little thicker) and make sure it is sealed and fill it with sand. But don't let any get on the wet epoxy! It puts pressure on the entire thing instead of just some of it but don't if you don't have to cuz it can stick to the plastic sometimes!

Nude CF works just as well...you might have a buyer for a CF version here

Don't kill it! You're doing some cool stuff!

[tiqueman]

No need for explanation. You all will figure it out soon.

Why.. wont even be able to come close to TFLs/ your prices. Not worth my time and effort. Im a single one man band operation. I will have as much in materials as you will be selling them for. NOT WORTH THE EFFORT

[Rumdog]

Why not just make one for yourself at least?
