Short Description: Snorkel #26 - Starter hole cover
|
I did some more work on the snorkel tonight, focusing on sealing the relief hole for the starter. First, I made the final cut in the snorkel and prepared the inside for epoxy. Next, I applied a layer of packing tape to the outside of the snorkel to protect the starter from the epoxy. Then, I placed a cardboard sheet to create a small gap. Next, I cut strips of carbon fiber, mixed the epoxy resin, and applied a thin layer of epoxy to the carbon fiber using a spackle spreader. Finally, I layered the carbon fiber over the hole to complete the sealing process and allowed it to cure overnight while I worked on the baffle plugs.
