Was glad to see you post again Rick. Was a minute since your last one.  Hope you are well.  Classic aquasport is the first forum I participated since the 90s. Don't really know how to act online. Surely well Wishing is fine.
I am fine, thanx for the checkin. I don't want to stifle the other members that have other viewpoints and experiences. The more the merrier.
I am glad to see you getting better at looking at things in the negative aspect, meaning so you can see molds in your mind. It's not an easy thing to do.

As for the streaks in the cloth - the more important thing is that it didn't harden. That's a concern.

Who am I kidding? I don't know how to act in person either.

Mold destruction was the plan. The last lamination on the anchor locker bulkhead got a bunch of brown streaks in it that follow the glass filaments that don't want to cure. It was rainy and 80 + % humidity the day this was lam'd. Is this a humidity failure? Any 8nsight as to what I did wrong?

You might have to destroy the mold to get everything released. Looks good though.

3rd and final 1708 floor layer is in the books. Once again very pleased. Definitely surreal to have passed this milestone after all this time. I know I keep repeating myself on that fact but the journey to get this boat done has been really rewarding.
I have to make some gel coat repairs along the bottom of the gunwale which was bad factory casting of hollows behind the gel coat in the mold. I’m going to mix some Cabo and gelcoat to patch the small voids then I’m going to mask it off and shoot the entire floor and a few inches up the gunwale.

The wood will not be part of it. I am going to put packing tape all over the wood and use it as a mold. The wings on the side will be where the anchor hangs from.

Yes, an aluminum trailer with tandem axles (tires) provides plenty of bouyancy to make it float when no boat on it.
