Jim,

24 oz or under is the target - tips & chin included. Mine came out at exactly that but I hadn't hollowed out the tips when I weighed it - maybe an ounce less once hollowed.

BTW, the ZAP finishing resin doesn't need to be thinned. If you thin it too much, you can end up with a very mild epoxy mix which is ok for glassing but might be questionable when sheeting. In order to avoid applying too much epoxy, the trick is to lift the sheeting to the light until you see a sheen. If it's glossy, you have too much. I just pour it on and use a CC to spread it out. Most of the glue ends back in the container as I scoop it back up with the card. I find the sponge just soaks it up and cuts into your work time - as you know, one has to work fast.

When you sand the sheeting, do so with both wings in their shucks and stacked. It is the easiest way to produce two identical halves. Just watch your sandbar to make sure you don't add further taper or "arcing" to the sides.


David.
