Refer - epoxy with bubbles - 2011

June 2011 - At Marina Cortez, San Diego, CA
Under top of refer
Being Tuesday knight Debbie worked on the refer.
Debbie mixed up a big batch of epoxy with bubbles for smoothing out the corners and angles. I helped in the end with applying it, my favorite part. I am not big on mixing it up. We think the refer is about done with this part.

We sanded it first from the previous application of this stuff and then applied the mix. We will sand the refer again and look for any voids that need touching up. We should be able to start doing some fiber glassing on the refer side then.

Freezer corner.
 On the freezer side we cut a piece of foam for the top left and then re-fit the evaporator plate template. It seems this size will work out good for us. Debbie then applied the mix to the bottom corners and edges of the freezer. 
 We brought the evaporator flat plate (the real one not the template) to the boat but decide after talking to Hinze that we are not ready for it.  t is in the box. It is 40" by 10". Hinze and Dave at our dock have both done this project and are very helpful. Hinze explained how to bend the evaporator plate.

Place it on a flat surface like a work mate top.

Place a 2” piece of PVC pipe on it where you want to bend it.

Use C clamps to hold down the pipe.

With a piece of plywood bigger than the evaporator plate is wide push the evaporator plate up from the bottom to the desired bend around the pipe.
