DF 35" Pirate 1st build

[Savage Skidoo]

Yes thanks for the compliment also . Prep everything from covering up the hull , cutting the CF to size before you mix the epoxy , when you lay it in try not too move or disturb the weave as it will separate , bush in more epoxy then roll :) , why aren't we building Mr .

Thank you for the compliment. I hope to get the lines a little more straight next time. The bricks were piling up behind me while I was doing it. Next time I won't be so nervous. The west system 206 gave us plenty of time. Enough to mix up a second batch in the middle of it.
I picked the tool up locally here just outside Toronto from port Whitby marine supply. I'm guessing that most or some marine suppliers would carry something similar. It worked very well for rolling up the sides and up underneath too. No bubbles remaining. I just did a quick google and found this for an example. About half way down the page

Thank you so much!!

Whats the plan are we building today KA , have you heard from Dave . I think both of his boats are finished .

[i2oadsweepei2]

I'm ready to do some more work here. If he's done lets put him to work :D

[i2oadsweepei2]

I'd like to roughly mock up everything in the boat and try and find the cog.

I would like to use one of these too http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...k-battery-lead
Sometimes other people want to help us get our boats back and get there before I can in the kayak. At least we could tell them to pull out the safety loop. I hold my breath when other people grab our over turned boats. Even when we let them know to keep clear of the prop. They have no idea what could happen. Us putting down our radios just doesn't cut it for me. Would you be interested as well?

[Savage Skidoo]

Kevin , i been scrolling through the pages , good idea . Added safety never hurts , we should keep this in mind when building . I like the one with the wire coming through the hull and reconnecting . You will never loose your wire .

I didnt realize you started a thread on your build till Kevin pointed it out
I am far behind finishing my winter projects but took the easy way out by getting a couple of OSE builds. Steven rocks.
Sorry off topic but I finally did some more work on the jet boat.
btw Mike, nice avatar. Is it yours or mine...lol

[Savage Skidoo]

Thanks H2O , I have the West's systems , but i find it a bit runny . I have micro balloons to add and thicken it up has any one used this to keep the resins in place .

[h2o 1]

Micro ballons for filling,fumed silica for strong joints! Read that in a nice thread about West systems. Helpful info as i will be doing this also.
