Day 38 - Gluing the combing on the deck

Finally got to use all those scraps of pipe I cut up. After a night of curing, I sanded down any rough edges on the combing and double checked them for a dry fit. Then it was time to mix up some resin. The new System 3, Silver Tip resin I am using is a fast setting resin, and I only have about a 10 to 15 minute pot life before it starts to set. I mixed just enough for the first cockpit to see how long it would take to clamp up. Went pretty fast. After applying a coat of resin to the deck and the combing, I set the pieces in place with the c-clamps and then followed with my pipe clamps.

After getting all the clamps set, I took some remaining amount of resin and added more wood flour to it to fill in a couple gaps where the joint had a small gap or two. Now it is time to let it sit overnight and then attack the top part of the combing - after some sanding.
