A heated locker for the epoxy resin to keep it up to temperature during the colder winter months and getting the aft seat mould out ready for making a replacement seat for the dinghy

Now that the winter months are upon us, It was time to make an heated epoxy resin locker to keep the epoxy from getting to cold to use it over the winter months. So with some spare bits of plywood which were laying around the workshop, I constructed a locker to house the epoxy in over the winter months ans keep it in a warm locker which make it easier to use when the temperature gets lower than 10 degrees


Now that the dinghy aft seat is now removed and any old fibreglass is no longer on the hull it is time to mould a new aft seat using the mould tool I have used on other small dinghies of this design. With a bit of trimming it will fit this dinghy and then be glassed in position 




The gunwales are now cut and just need to be put through the thickenesser and planed to the finished size and then steamed round the gunwales of the dinghy to give the dinghy some well needed strength
