Trying to maintain some momentum, motivation, and progress on this so I got a start on the fiberglass liner.

I'm using a 1/2 oz veil and two layers of 1 1/2 oz mat in vinyl ester resin. First step, cut the material



Then I put two sheets of melamine on the shop floor and taped the joint with aluminum tape. Unrolled a layer of veil and one layer of mat on the temporary casting table.



Wet it out with resin. Air roll. Add the second layer of mat and air roll again.



Let cure, trim to size, and scuff the edges for the corner tape.



The finished layup is just under 2 1/2 mm thick on average.



And a translucent green.



The sheets in the tank waiting for the corners to get taped. This might not happen for a while. I'll need good weather so I can open the doors and vent the foul odour of the resin until cured.
