| Finished the rough trimming of the fairings - I should have done some of this yesterday - 'green' cured flass is fine, 2 day old cured is too set. Then brought them in to warm up in the sunshine in the house (Mum's study worked well ;-) | 
|
| Dad continued with the FAB - still too long, too low and off to the left. | 
|
| More test drilling, shaping, fitting - I think we have a plan. | 
|
| I continued with the diffuser - more fixing locations for the AL ring. | 
|
| Then the spacer to hold the 4" ring in the right location. | 
|
| Plaster of paris for the bulk shaping, difficult to make it stick 'vertically' but enough once it all starts to set. The plan this time is to make a rough postive and then pour a PoP negative mould (probably in two halves). This will then be used for the glass layup - pros - hopefully will provide the right solution for attachment, cons - the mould will be for the outer surface (which doesn't have air going past it). | 
|
| Then removed the backer and mould, made a wooden locating support and prep'd for clay. Tomorrow it is clay + release wax, then PoP and see what the result is like...... |
