More leading edge of the skeg.

Über uni.

[minaret]

Carbon'd up.

[minaret]

More uni goes on. Check the extra strip up the leading edge.

[minaret]

Biax goes on. DB1708 x 2.

[minaret]

Each layer of biax wraps successively further around the leading edge, so it is double thick.

Old faithful. This meter pump dispenses 105 and fast hardener in the proper ratio as fast as you can crank the handle. This is our 3-4th one, earlier models eventually became too caked with epoxy to function anymore. It has dispensed at least a thousand gallons in its life.

Is the rudder or any other part of the hull getting the same (uni) treatment?

[minaret]

Skeg buttered up with 407 and Fast WEST.
