We just glassed the MRS. After a final fairing and sanding, we glassed the hull with 9oz glass cloth set in low viscosity Raka epoxy with a slow hardener. This gave us plenty of time to roll out all the wrinkles with a ridged roller.
After three hours we gave it a thin fill coat to fill in the weave. After another three hours had passed, the surface was slightly tacky and we rolled out the pre cut Kevlar for the bottom. This received the same epoxy treatment. It was then three am. so we called it a night.

| 9oz cloth, originally 50 inches wide, cut down to overlap on the centerline. |
 |
| The skeg has a 3/4 inch fillet for strength and to ease the layup. The glass laps in both directions. |
 |
| The Kevlar bottom will allow for some rough landings. |
