Slow Monster rebuild

Sitting here with a small headache having been fibre-glassing the patterns today, I wanted to keep the temperature up so the resin cured nicely which meant the door of the shed closed and therefore an excess of acetone fumes. Good progress though as all the “easy” patterns were given a coupling resin coat on the back of the gel coat which was nicely tacky from yesterday and at least one layer of 100g chopped strand mat. Tomorrow they will get 3 layers of 300g chopped strand mat and if the release agent works as it should the following day I will have some moulds.
