Tonights progress was glassing the sustainer transition.
Left: Two layers of 6oz Fiberglass applied to the transition.
Right: While digging through the box of FG rems, I happened across a lonely little piece of 6oz Carbon Fiber......I think that with a bit of work it would make awesome covers for the timer and batteries, too bad they would have to be painted to match the sustainer.
After the FG cures I will wrap the transition with mylar and then form the covers over the top in one solid piece.
The former for the transition is nothing more than three 1/4" centering rings to keep the transition round, the rings are edged with packing tape so the epoxy will not stick to the rings.
Edit: Just realize that the 6oz FG is actually 10oz (the Bondo Branded stuff from Home Depot/Lowes).
