Keeping up the rythm !

Al four beam mounts are now in place and ready for final lamination.
 

Aft beam molds in place and first fillets on and curing.
This was very time consuming. After following plan procedures wasn't happy with the outcome so trashed it and did it my way. Basically the same principal but much easier to set up and align ( I hope). Instead of using a partitioned panel I used a single plywood board. This way the surface is kept straight all around. The negative inner mold part ( hope to show later) should be easy to remove.

MVT ( Most valuable tool).
Decided to throw in some tips and good ideas that worked for me.
This one is a mixing spatula. Nearly life time reusable! No need to discard wooden mixing sticks.
Just used a broken hacksaw blade, a wooden stub and heatshrink sleeve. The blade has the perfect flexibility for mixing resin and putty ( even heavy putty) and its easely cleaned, sanded if necessary and ready for the next batch. Try it !
