Everytime I
do this silly foam molds, I get a little better at it.
This time, I
used that green craft foam that Wal-Mart sells, which must be about the easiest
thing in the world to sand. It's almost too soft actually, though it won't
seem that way when I'm trying to chip it out through the open holes. The
other tool I've added is the belt sander. Used carefully, it makes very
short work of the shaping. If you can set up a big fan behind you, blowing
at the sander, the cloud of dust exits the hanger nicely (best performed when
you're neighbors aren't around).
The
round ends were cut with a hole saw, that happened to have about the right
ID.
The glued in
sticks are an improvement from when I built the last airbox/plenum thing I
had. I learned that it's pretty hard to work with a piece that has wet
glass all around it. Now I have a handle :-)
As you can
see, it's now 6:30 central, so I won't be doing any glassing today. I do
have all the pieces cut, as well as having everything else ready to go.
I'll attempt to put on 3 layers in the morning, using fast hardener (air
conditioned garage), then put however many more layers I feel like I need later
in the day.
Cheers,
Rusty (will
the fun ever end...)
