DF pirate 35 build

Thanks on that sandpaper advice! I also find the wood sandpaper doesn't really scuff it up enough.

And if you like the pumps, all good. I just can't bring myself to use them knowing there is a chance of ratios not being exact. You should do a test and weigh it once you're done pumping to see how accurate the pumps are. It would be interesting to see. I'm sure the pumps work great for big jobs as a small variations in ratios then are not as critical. As this epoxy system was designed to work on real scale boat repairs and whatnot, mixing large batches at a time, what if you need to mix just 1oz of epoxy for some important connecting fillets for your motor mounts and are slightly off on your ratio without even knowing it... The epoxy either ends up a bit too flexible or too brittle. And a mistake like that could kill a whole build. That's just my thoughts on it. Not trying to say the pumps are junk. Just seems a bit too crude of a method for small batches.

Yeah it's def not for making small batches.
For small jobs I just use a different product like jb weld or 5 minute

It's not like you can't just pump some into a measuring cup anyways for s small batch

BTW, i use Traxxas 2075 high torque waterproof servos in alot of my boats and they work very well.............

Ohgodya.... Speed master hardware is just fantastic!
Yes the 2075 is excellent.
This rudder blade is a lot wider than expected. Gonna be a lot of force when turning...

I thought I did get it but I must have hit the str8 blade.
Oh well it's ok I'll use it

I think it's more the fact that I've always built 27-29" boats, so I'm not used to the larger stuff, but up against the boat it doesn't look oversized or anything.



Today I recieved the amg logos from Joel "thanks Joel"! So I masked it up to blast some paint on it.

I did the transom last night with 3 layers of cf.
