Tonight all three of us was present, and I began the with the angle grinder. It is such a quick way to remove epoxy that using the beltsander is a drugde. Unfortunately the chineese quality angle grinder burnt out after just 5 minutes..
Frode finished off the rest with the belt sander. I was more than happy to let him have a go at it after doing the 5 previous panels. He did good work, so I'll let him do the same with #7 ;)
We also filled all staple holes and spent a good time cleaning up in the workshop so we can begin work on beams and foils.

Staples pulled on #6.
Frode and I pulled all the staples from panel #6 today. 75 minutes total needed to remove the staples. Next opportunity I get, I will be busy with the angle grinder to remove epoxy.

#6 glued.
Spent an hour gluing #6 tonight. It takes an hour and 10 minutes to glue the panel properly.. Panel #7 I will tally the hours for. This is probably one of the slowest building techniques on earth, but still more fun than working with foam ;) Wonder how stiff the hulls will be..
