 Hot coated the pre cut core material and thickened the left over resin to fill voids around the top of console (always take advantage of what you have mixed,it will save you a lot of resin in the long run)  I then let the hot coat kick then mixed my thickened resin and applied with 1/4 inch notch trowel.  I then put my core ply inplace and smushed it around to get an even layer of thickened resin between the ply and console skin. A big mistake I've learned is squeezing to much resin out of the bonding surface. Always keep a thin layer of resin in there or you won't get a good bond.

 Well kinda mocked her up so I can take some measurements so I took some pics.  Here's another pic. I can't wait to put this boat together for good.

Stupid question, have you replaced the bow eye yet? I have yet to own an old boat that did not eventually need one. Plus that will bug the crap out of you being the only hardware that wasn't replaced....

 Here she is all glassed up with a single layer of 1708. If you look closely at the opening on the console you will see a 3/4 ply band that that wraps the opening I did this to create shear strength in the console for the purpose of the t-top getting bolted to it. The console orginally was just a mold and really had no horizontal strength. I'm also gonna glass a piece of 3/4 ply 12"x16" to mount fuse panels and battery switches and other electrical knick knacks

Coming along nicely!
I always make a point to wipe off the dripping resin with a rag with some solvent on it. Makes it a lot easier than sanding it off.
