Gingerbread almost done....Am I beating Mary K.??.. Updated

[Micro469]

Spent the weekend entertaining my sister from Ottawa and working on the tear.

Plugging away at the gingerbread...



Put her back in the hole... Almost fogot to take pics....



Had trouble with this piece... epoxy wouldn't harden.... not enough hardner??


Second times a charm...

Decided to reward myself with a steak dinner....O.K., the rest of the family can eat too.....

That is looking fantastic. I would not have the patience to attempt something like this.

This is one of my favorite builds. I appreciate you keeping us updated with photos too.

Is that a birdhouse in the reflection of your camper window?

Man, that sure is looking good. You really outdone yourself. Oh, yeah, the td is looking good too.

Seriously, you are doing a great job. I wish I could see it up close some day.

I wish I could get back to work on mine. I wanted to be finished by the end of July. Due to all the rain on days I could work on it and now trying to catch up on the yard work, there just isn't any time. All I know is that it has to be done before Oct.

Very nice. Doesn't seem like I get to beat you after all...

What will you coat the gingerbreading with?

Miriam, I'm leaving everything natural...me and stain don't get along. I like the color of the white poplar against the brown mahogany (Luan). I plan to paint the fenders a vanilla white. Don't match the tow car, but I like the color....

John, your trailer is sure looking good. Love the trim work you are doing. What type of hardner are you using? If it is polyester..... the resin has a shelf life. May be getting old. If it is exoxy resin then I don't know, the only thing I can think of is you made the wrong mixture. Glad you have it under control.

Hey!! I'm using East coast epoxy...with Westcoast pumps... I was at the bottom of my hardener, and enough didn't come out when I pumped it. The epoxy didnt harden fast enough for me..stayed gummy...stretchy way too long. I ended up taking the pieces off, scraping the old epoxy off, and using a new batch...from a new can of hardener. worked fine the second time, but it was a slight setback.
