More roof and some progress

The roof being the area to have required the most amount of work it is finally at the stage where the mould can be taken, it has taken many hours of sanding and filling to get to this level though I am very happy to be here now.



With the roof in primer, wax and release fluid has been applied, this will allow the mould to be removed when it is dry.
With the wax on the roof, the gel coat was then applied.


The gel coat is white which you can just make out on the roof. Once the gel coat had gone tacky we then started to apply glass chop strand mat and adding resin with 1% catalyst ratio resin. This gives a nice slow mix and we hope will not change or sag the roof.









Once this is dry and the extra supported have been added we will then start making the carbon replacement roof. Already quite excited.

I hope to add another post soon
