I finally got my single work bench cleared up, so I can layup my cowl.

First picture is of my mould, all waxed up and ready to go.

The last two are with two layers of cloth, (1/16" thick when finished)

I will be ready to pull it Wed. morning.

Cowl came out fine, I used lots of wax.

second pic. - I use a dark masking tape to mark the outside of the cowl position. I also put a PEN line on the tape for center.

Third pic. - Line the cowl up on the center lines, and position it front to back there you want it.

Fourth pic. - Use a fine black magic marker to mark the cut out on the cowl, leave a little extra for sanding for your final fit.

Cowl all cut and sanded to fit.
I added some flotation to it just in case.
Boat is all ready for a water test, hopefully tomorrow.
If everything is Ok, Then I will put some stripping on the boat and paint and a windshield on the cowl.

Hello Ray
It is made of Balsa wood. It is intended for the front edge of a Plane wing. (like a half round)
front to back - 3/4" Hight at the mounting surface - 1".
The top and bottom edge are very ease to blend with the top and bottom decks.
I put as much of thinned epoxy on it as I can to harder it up.
I then add two layers of very light fiberglass cloth.

O.k. thanks. I'll break out the balsa then.

SO it's 1" long or 1"high if it were standing on a table and the 3/4" is the dimension that mates up to the front bulkhead?

[TRUCKPULL]

The flat side is 1' high.
The tip of the round, sticks out 3/4"

Larry

[ray schrauwen]

Interesting considering I'm dealing with 7/8" not 1". I wonder where 1/8" went? Maybe sanding the front bulkhead on the profile angle?? Anyway, thank you!

[TRUCKPULL]

I install it so that there is 1/16" extra on the top and the bottom, and sand it off to match the top and bottom latter.

OOhhh, ok, that's that Cadbury secret. Thank you!
