I figured out a little trick today for prolonging the life of your fiber disks on your grinders. I catch myself throwing them away after they get loaded up with wax. Today I soaked one for about a minute in acetone and then stroked it with a wire brush and it came out like brandnew. Im sure this has been thought of before but I figured I'd share.

Do you have a target date for splash yet?

I think that's wise...a target date as priority instead of what you want to get done is a self-imposed SQUEEZE...you're on course to have a really nice CC once yer done...and that'll happen in it's own good time...I've really enjoyed watching the progress you've made!!...

![]() all glassed up and roughly blocked in. ![]() as you can see the floor penatration have been hotcoated then one strip of CSM around the perimeter and 3 coats of gelcoat. ![]() all holes that go thru the core ply are hotcoated and 3 coats of gelcoat are to follow. the key is to seal up all wood properly. all holes holes in the transom are treated the same. the holes on the transom are over drilled by a 1/2 inch then refilled with a fiber reinforced thickend resin then 2 layers of CSM are glassed on like patches on both sides. I then redrill my holes and its protected by a 1/4 inch ring of glass. then i put 2 coats of gelcoat on the holes. Its completely overboard but I just want to protect my core ply |
