All this stuff will also be coated some more, coated with epoxy-cloth-epoxy final overlay. Nasty stuff. Really looking forward to sanding this stuff... not!

Hey, Bob. Well, easy to 'jump' on the epoxy/glass, but -- Gary, Santana 2023A, Milwaukee -- 5/23/08 7:41a.m.

Maybe?? -- Bob Frak -- 5/23/08 11:51a.m.

Nothing of major interest here. -- Gary, Santana 2023, Milwaukee -- 5/17/08 4:09p.m.

Awesome job -- Liv, CS22, Karma 22, Ottawa River -- 5/18/08 5:32a.m.

Liv, don't be offering my services out (unless it's a hot friend of yours) -- Gary, Santana 2023, Milwaukee -- 5/18/08 2:13p.m.

Are you going to glass the underside of the edge outs? -- Seth Dabney, 2023-C, Oxford, MS -- 5/18/08 12:34p.m.

If I understand you, Seth, maybe this will clear it up? -- Gary, Santana 2023, Milwaukee -- 5/18/08 2:26p.m.
