Your a trooper, I would have put it in the box and in the recycle bin by now :rofl::joy:

Back Plates of Sheets 1 and 2 done.

I’ve been working on another project, which delayed me for a while, but that’s completed now.

As well, I found I had to provide weight to the PE to flatten the bends resulting from the shipping damage. Not sure if this would have been required regardless, but me thinks not. At any rate, because of this, I chose to do each of the larger back plates one at a time. I wanted to minimize the possibility of the back plates slipping as much as possible. Thus, this slowed the process down.

I chose a BIG HEAVY book for the weight.
Further, I switched to a slower curing epoxy. Working out well.

Four back plates for each side (Port and Starboard) on this sheet. I’m hoping to get all eight done in two applications. We’ll see.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,
Mark
