The Difference Between Hot Cheetos

spring

A long period without updates, but not per questo meno denso in quanto ad avanzamento lavori. Negli ultimi tre mesi sono stato lontano da Milano per lavoro e il tempo a disposizione per la barca si è ridotto drasticamente, nonostante tutto sono riuscito ad andare in cantiere almeno un giorno nei fine settimana e così facendo i progressi non sono mancati…

-Stuccature-

Dopo una serie di disastrosi tentativi con lo stucco (a volte liquidissimo altre volte talmente secco da fare le bolle d’aria) ho finalmente terminato le cordonature sulle paratie e sulla chiglia e, cosa ancor più importante, ora ho finalmente preso la mano con le quantità da miscelare per ottenere la giusta consistenza; una via di mezzo tra il Pongo and Nutella.

Processing for the keel is a little different from the bulkhead because the project is required to "arm" the grout with glass fiber. To be honest I was tempted to use it even on the creases of the bulkheads, to give even more strength and flexibility to the whole, but having already limited time I have saved this refinement ... (also difficult to assess the gain in terms of resistance ").

Finite così le stuccature sul primo scafo mi sono accorto che si perdeva molto tempo in due fasi della preparazione:

- Scartavetrare A MANO negli angoli prima di stuccare

- Miscelare lo stucco in piccole dosi

Per quanto riguarda il primo aspetto l’ho risolto acquistando una meravigliosa levigatrice Mouse, che è praticamente la salvezza dello scartavetratore…mai più senza!

Per il secondo problema ho finalmente capito che di stucco did not get enough, so I bought "a few pounds," not to remain inert powder dry and prepare more when using a bucket as a container and rugged drive! The container must be hard because as soon as the resin is mixed with the powder and mix it becomes very difficult if the container is not solid break while preparing ... (beginning in preparing the aluminum trays ... bad!)

exploited a day off I jumped from my dear pusher of marine plywood and, caught at the chance sheets I bought all I needed to the project: 5 sheets of magnificent ocean okoumé RINA approved. But why RINA-approved? costs more and the extent of the paper is unique ... I know, is to import at a lower price and also in the smaller size, but you want some parts I made with the importing and the difference (at least in the view ) is known, and how! The layers of plywood in the importing country are not sharp and continuous as in the RINA and more grain from the wood is different, there are more nodes and greater flexibility ... We may not count for anything, but the price difference does not be so devastating!

I took the paper I started to draw and this time without me with haste to draw and cut without much precision, at least I have reported the plans on Autocad (also to optimize the arrangement of parts) in order to have the exact coordinates of all points. And so in a couple of days of work I have all the pieces of beautiful indoor and ready to be assembled (I cut them with a half inch of surplus, then I will work a maximum of plane!)
