I sure am glad to be in Sydney at the moment.
Down South it's so hot the trains don't work & something like 14 people have died as a result of the heat, up North they have floods (You're not washed away are you Mick?).
Some progress over the last week or so. I'm starting to really enjoy this build now. An hour here & there after work, very relaxing.
Weekend work, tack welds on prior to removal of stitches.
This week. Hull panels are glued together & stitches removed with the exception of the bow & stern which I want to tweak around a bit more. It's probably ok as is but I figure a little more time spent now will be worth it in the end.
I've been using a zip lock plastic bag to spread the glue. Aside from a nasty bag split incident that shall never be mentioned again it has worked a treat.
The last batch was the biggest & by the time I finished applying the glue the bag was so hot it was starting to melt.
Bag seen below sitting on a steel drip tray incase of fire. At this point it's too hot to touch & the bag is like hot melt glue.
Looking forward to flipping it over (The Yak not the bag).
