Quick Kick... heu... OK!

The nose and tail have been shaped and the fin inserts have been epoxied! I use the epoxy called Quick Kick, well it means that when it is really hot outside, like this week end, you shouldn't use it. Guess what?... I used it!!! The epoxy set so fast and became so hot that I was able to see smoke coming out of the board.... Luckily nothing was ruined, the glassing promise to be fun!

tail and nose

I glued the nose and tail blocks to the.... tail and the nose! Now you can have a hint to what it may look like at the end!

2750 grammes!

I am a happy little sander! There is a lot of things to do but my board is getting here shape!
Just by curiosity I weighed it: 2743 gr! And I still have to trim the nose, the tail and the fin slots need to be routed out more.... It gonna be light!

SAND SAND SAND SAND SAND SAND SAND SAND SAND SAND, what else?!

This time I removed the tape.... It's not bad but it's far from good the glue line need to be sanded hooray!!
It is good that I have a hand planner, it'll save me hours and hours!
