4. corebond (putty)
5. core material
6. vacuum bag
7. glass/resin
Ready for stringers/bulkheads

I guess I always assumed the vacuum bagging was used on glass/resin, but it appears it is used on the coring.
Does the vacuum draw the paste material up through the core?
Thanks, Darren

Yes with the core bonding there are bleeder holes every couple inches never more than three in the Sheet core we use, that lets the air and excess material come through the coreing to the top of the sheet. the vacuum levels are also much higher than in Wet-bagging a Laminate in a ester resin (not epoxy)

Here you can see the Corebond paste coming through the Perforations.

I'd say his meticulous eye created some of the best lines on any performance boat out there! Classic S Fl looks.:drink:

That Deck came out of Dans head, there were no drawings not one, trust me when I say it is exactly what he wanted when done.

One night I was spraying the last coat of Duratec on that late and in those days used a #7 Binks was fogging that stuff on,heard the Porsche come ripping across the parking lot in first gear stop right in front of my door and the windshield wipers crunch from the heavy over-spray on the glass.

The rest of the story is Danny just told me that day the riggers put a large piece of cut off foam from a tank installation on the hood as a joke,Bad move the foam was still out-gassing and damaged the paint it had to be repaired and I just over sprayed the whole car.

Steve, how many staggered 33's were built, was it a good combo? Also which was a better performing package OB or IO?
