| First up we spent some time working out the shape / lines for the front canopy. The weather isn't great so no trimming / real work on it, and the rest of the week is looking cool and windy also. | 
|
| We were struggling a bit for what to do next, but decided that some experimenting / learning about fibre glass and how to use it would be good. | 
|
| Therefore we made some 'sample projects' some with plexi-glass, some fibre-glass / AL parts | 
|
| We are sticking with the West Epoxy system, 1L of resin, a large bag of micro-balloons, a small one of silca plus some 6oz cloth. The pumps fit straight onto the bottles - this makes the 5:1 measuring so easy. | 
|
| We started with some silica filling and then cloth and top surfaces with micro-balloons. | 
|
| The net result of the experiment - we will leave it to set and look at the results tomorrow. |
