Gave the moulds their five coats of wax today. Seeing as NSW Time Attack is on at Wakefield this weekend, and I am heading up for a look tomorrow, I either had to wait for next weekend to do the layup or push ahead and do it tonight.
Somewhat predictably I decided to do it tonight. I must say carbon is a pain in the arse when it comes to wet layups. So there are three layers of carbon and about 2kg of resin in the mould. I switched to the 205 fast hardener, but the working time is still very long, even with a little heater in the shed.
I'll let this lot sit for a couple of days to cure. I might even manage to let it go until next week end, but I can't promise anything.
