I'm watching this one closely. I got my form and box made and just need to get my materials from Kenny and I'll be spreading glue!! Looks good so far.

i glued my limbs up.

started with putting some paper on the table

after that i turned my heat box on and started to warm up my limbs for about 25 min

while i waited i checked my hose, tighted the end and made sure there was no leaks. i also put a center line on my fiberglass

then i put my glue in the oven

while my glue warmed up for about 10 min i clean my limbs and fierglass

i do this with a dremmal and a stiff brush

next i mexed my glue

i used little plastic cup with a 1 to 1 ratio and i just eye ball the amount

also i drilled my hole for my riser inserts and with my left over smooth  on i was planning on glueing them in
