Panel #7 done, and then some.

Panel #7 was moved to Omars carport last night, for storage. Now the female mould is occupied by panel #8. The inside of #8 was sanded during last nights session. Finished preliminary sanding and filled all gaps with thickened epoxy. The sanding gear Florin sent me from Romania really makes all the difference. Variable speed angle grinder, 36grit discs and some foam pads. Stuff it is quite hard to get in Norway, or at least in Molde and on the 'net. Thanks a lot Florin!

Omar and Frode also cut the glass for a new test-tube which I hope to get startet pretty soon. Exciting times!

Ok...

The quick fix was not good enough. After the staples was removed the hull pulled apart from the tension in the planks. Oh well.. That failure is no longer in the workshop and the new hull panel #8 is well underway. Lesson learnt I hope!
