"Did you ever consider clothing the seams than placing the FRP and than sealing the seams."



That would require foresight. I'm hindsighted, not foresighted. But yeah, that sounds like it might form a better joint.



I've got a good bead of construction adhesive on the joints and had planned on leaving it at that but the cage sat in limbo long enough for me to start my dang perfectionistic stinkin' thinkin'.



Question/Problem:

I didn't use enough hardener in my fiberglass resin mix last night and some areas are still a bit tacky. Ya reckon I can I just brush a light coat of hardener over those areas to get it to set?



What happened was the hardener tube didn't have a preformed hole in it and the instructions said to "add drops" but said nothing about opening the tube, the size hole cutting the top off, etc... I didn't know if I was supposed to cut the top off the tube or poke a hole in it. I poked a hole in it with my pocket knife. Guess what, the "drops" were too small.



It's no big deal. Most of what wasn't cured this morning is already cured this afternoon. I can always cut another 2 x 4 if needed.



Livin' & learnin'!
