Over in the tech area we were discussing fibreglass body work.
I had a problem here with a composites problem but in truth the trouble saved me from an even bigger disaster.
I've been putting off making the nose for the car for one reason or another over the last month.
It's going to take yards and yards of Carbon along with honeycomb, glass fabric and Epoxy.
Huge cost involved.
My buddy Patrick is an RC plane guy and needed a few holes plugged on a plane he modified.
I owed him a favour so it was no problem to rebuild the cowling for him.
I did the 10 minute job and set the part down to cure.
It never did.
Four days later, still not cured and I was really worried.
The short story is that my 10 year old electronic scale went out of calibration and the Epoxy mix was all wrong!!!!.
The $2 repair that didn't cure saved me from a $2000 heart breaker.
What do you use to remove uncured Epoxy from a Styrene buck?
??
The great news is that Gerard Pye from Richter Scales is supplying a classy scale in return for exposure on the car.
It's all good and the miracles just keep on coming!!!!
