Hello Ryan,

The total fuse in the picture comes to 32oz. Heavier than I'd like, but still should be able to be built to around 10.5 pounds. I believe a lot of the weight I'm getting is from the PPG primer I'm using. I made a chin cowl, same layup, one primed in the mold and one unprimed. Difference in weight is about .75oz. While building my first fuse, I found blocking out the fuse saved about 2oz, and more primer could have come off.

Hey Julius, thanks for your kind words!!

Todd
