| Had a bit of difficulty extracting the forward edge of the fibreglass and it was still a little green. | 
|
| The second problem is the clingfilm is never completely flat and it has resulted it voids on the inner surface of the fibreglass - more so than I really want. | 
|
| Therefore it was back to fibreglassing, this time I used release agent directly on the PoP / clay plug. Also the resin mix was more consistent, I only worried about the upper half at this point. | 
|
| Curing is becoming more of a problem with the air temperatures dropping and winter coming - I did get a bit of sunshine on it however. | 
|
| With the RHS all curing, I moved to the LHS. This is a little tighter in space, but same deal. I started by trimming the lower baffle floor, bending it back, I ended up just trimming it off. I think I'm going to need to do some serious trimming on both the forward baffles, but I'm trying to put it off as long as possible in case I need the material. | 
|
| As always - the second one is faster and easier. This time I just focused on 3 attach points to get the ring in the right plane and right location. | 
|
| Then PoP and clay for the finishing layer plus release agent. | 
|
| Fibreglassing upper section again, multiple smaller pieces of cloth, left to cure overnight. Not sure if I'll be able to work with the fibreglass tomorrow or if I'll have to wait a day, might have to find something else to focus on..... |
