3/3/2015 Chapter 14 Step 5

Electric blankets and tarps are on pre-heating the spar and pre-cut rolls of UNI.   Lamps are heating the epoxy.
A small exhaust fan and duct (upper right corner of photo) are ready to exhaust the fumes through the doggie door.    I think this will work out good to start using up the two quarts of fast epoxy I have on hand.   One of the previous builders mentioned several times that it was to hot in Texas to use the fast epoxy so this will be a good time to use it before winter is gone.  

 Its nice to be able to refer to other builder's web sites.  One builder posted it took two guys 5 hours just to do the UNI layups on this step.   I'm sure it will take me longer but I'll probably have a helper tomorrow.

The high tomorrow will be in the 50's, then into the 20's.   Ambient temp in the work area for now is 61 with the heater off.   The epoxy and micro will be at about 65.
