Bit of a slow day today, only managed one cladding of ¾ of the patterns with 300g chopped mat. It took simply ages to stipple it so that there were no air bubbles and I found that when I started on the second batch the first batch had developed air bubbles of their own accord, suspect it is due to the curing action generating a bit of heat or giving off some form of gas.
On the plus side:-
1) my estimated hours to completion dropped below 275 for the first time even taking into account an extra few day’s work obviously necessary to finish these patterns/moulds; and
2) these goodies arrived this afternoon, the wheel balancer, a jig for drilling nuts and bolts to enable them to be wired and titanium bolts for the callipers and discs and fork leg clamps. I think I have some incurable disease as I must be mad to spend more on this relatively meagre collection of bolts than I did on two new tyres
