That’s a very similar shape to the Auslocks board, it’ll go fine.

Well done Wankman…

I glassed it last week with epoxy. In a rush I tried to cure it in my homemade oven so I could sand it on Saturday and get it out in the water. After about two hours in the “oven” which was heated by a 120 watt flood light I decided to have a look and guess what I found…My light fell out of place onto the carpet. It burned about a two inch hole in the carpet.

We’re lucky the house didn’t burn down.

Anyway I sanded it the next day and did ok until I burned through to the weave in the nose and on the deck. Scratch surfing it Saturday. I put a couple of patches on and got it out on Sunday. It went quite well in the gutless crap I took it out in. The 15 1/2 inch tail helps a lot.

And everyone thought I was going overboard when I gave those warnings about homemade ovens, after telling how to make them.
