Progress on the Port Fuel Tank

I spent the morning getting plywood and more fiberglass. In the afternoon I was able to get the first side of the forward bulkhead glassed and the aft bulkhead cleaned up, place in position and two sides glassed.

I have been having trouble getting the bagging plastic to layout smooth on the glass. It always seemed to leave areas where it did not stick. Then the areas where it did stick would draw the resin from those areas. The finished result was not as smooth as hoped.

So I tried something new today. I let the resin harden all the way so it was stable but still tacky on the surface.

Then I applied the bagging cloth which still stuck to the surface. I was able to work the surface to get the wrinkles out a lot more than before. Hopefully it covers the surface tight enough to exclude the air so I will get a tack free surface. We will see in the morning.

I was able to position the aft bulkhead in place and get two of the edges on one side glassed in while I was waiting for the glass on the forward bulkhead to set.
With the salon floor being removed this tank going  to be a lot easier to work on than the starboard tank was. On the starboard tank I had to crawl into the engine room with all the materials and then work in there with no head room.....Should have had my head examined!
