It is summer and quite warm in Vancouver and a now realize that I need to get my hands on some slower curing hardener. The West 205 hardener this weekend started to kick in just 15 minutes.  I’m going to go get my hands on some 206 hardener that will extend my working time in the heat.

I did manage to do one more small step in the rudder epoxy work.  I left the draped Kevlar long on the trailing edge purposefully. It was an idea I found in an article by Jim Derck called “Durable edges for centreboards and flip up rudders“.
