Holy Cow...We started skinning the Voyager this morning with the Fiberglass...

Good Lord have Mercy.. 2 hands just aint enough for this job... :shock:

One thing I found out you cant do much at a time with the fiberglass either..
What a hot day it was.. I had the entire family helping on this today..

:sweaty:

A small section at a time is necessary to accomplish a good seal.. with the glue. It tends to slip away from you real fast if its not clamped properly ..

I didnt have a chance to get photos but I,ll try to get some tomorrow..
Im just now getting cleaned up...

Yup you were very right Paul ... I let out a few Finnish Cuss words in the process.. And here I thought it was as easy ad ply to glue and work with..
Boy did I prove myself wrong..

Believe it or not but Im only going a half meter at a time.. otherwise for me it will not go right... :oops:

Hopefully I wont mess it up..And once that Bostik is on its on to stay..What a learning experience..

Hopefully I,ll have some pics tomorrow for you.

Hey, teach us some of those Finnish cuss words. We can use them on our bosses.

"Good morning boss, and a good *^%$%$ to you." They will never know what we are really saying, eh?

CD :lol:

We only have two in Texas, CD.

Season #1 is hot which last 50 weeks of the year.
Season #2 is two weeks of sleet/ice when all the city folk go slamming into each other.

Heikki,
I think gluing anything on a curve is going to be trouble from what I've seen.

Not that we have worked with fiberglass.
And hot is any temperature higher than normal temperature for your area. I agree over 80 is hot especially if your trying to work outside & not just :picklejuice:

in the shade. :lol:

Can't wait to see pictures. :thumbsup:
