It has been a few weeks since my last post but i've been busy so there. Since pour day we've been meeting regularly sanding and making CyDuct look pretty like so:
No cracks have been observed so far which is great because last year we had some pretty big ones right down the middle. This is most likely due to the fibers we added into the mix this year.
CyDuct is turning out to be one nice looking boat.
On the 24th of February CyDuct was removed from the mold. This process can be seen in time-lapse format below:
Thanks to all of those who showed up to help out! The whole process couldn't have gone any smoother. The steel spine popped right out and so do the fiberglass mold. This process took less than an hour where as last year taking the canoe off the mold took around a week. The week included the time spent removing the styrofoam. The fiberglass mold came off in one piece and we are looking into making it into a practice boat. The duct tape removed will be reused as a makeshift kickball.
A few spots need to be patched and some sanding needs to be done on the inside of CyDuct. Overall, things couldn't be going smoother.
