Well the day started well, I brought the RHS inlet into the warm / sun to start speeding the curing process - however without the front clecos holding the ring, the PoP slipped slowly down. |
|
This resulted in a deformed shape and a complete mess. I tried to recover the situation by moving it onto the plenum, but it was a lost cause - back to square one..... |
|
The 'good' news was that I didn't have to break the negative mould, so I extracted the AL rings from the old failed one and cleaned / sanded everything back. Then it was back to the fibreglassing, mixed more resin this time, laid up some 'halves' on the PoP mould and then joined the sides together. |
|
Also added another couple of cleco locations to hold things down / in the right place. |
|
Then the balloon trick again to keep it all pressed up against the mould and leave in the warm over night. |
