Bulb Plug

So until i get the money for plywood and epoxy i figured i would start on the bulb, Keel and, Rudder.

I used  This thread to get me started with the plug.  Took awhile to get it all figured out and make sure all the sizing was correct.

All the pieces cut out.  Piece 7 cut twice.


All Glued up.  I did a crappy job as our foam gun was not working and i had to stab the top of the can to get glue to come out.  

Foam Sanded to Shape.


Bondo added and rough fairing. 





Bulb Hours so far 13
Total Hours so far 39
Beers for Bulb 2
Total Beers 2 ( I know i need to step it up)

  2. Craig, Did you notice any shrinkage when the bondo hit the foam. Mine did due to the eat of the bondo (maybe I was too slow or too thick or something). Just curious.

    Great start and good luck with setting up you work space for the boat.

    Cheers, Kevin.

  3. No it didnt shrink. I kind of wish it did now i am running into the issue when it gets to the right shape the foam comes thru. So next time (hopefully i dont have a next time) i would make the foam slightly to small so i had easy working area with the bondo.
