We had to make a 10'x20' bag (a 20'x20' sheet of platic folded in half) for our vacuum bag. We were going to use a vacuum pump out of a refrigerator but it wouldn't pull any more than 5 pounds of pressure so we used my moms vacuum sweeper it pulled 140 lbs on the bathroom scale that we had under the bag.
We had to leave the sweeper on for about 9 hours and after that we were really tierd of hearing the sound of a vacuum sweeper LOL. We also put a few tables on the back sheets because they were warped really bad.
Now we had to figure out how we would get the hull home so we put a couple of 2x4's on the back of our 10f trailer and some scrap foam to make it about 18' long.
Here is the hull on the trailer.
Here is the cart we made to hold the hull. It is made from some old 2x4's we had in our back yard and some old lawn mower wheels.
We also put a tarp in the middle of it to hold all of our scrape foam, since we don't have much room in our garage.
We also made it so that we could steer it. It is just a bolt going through two 2x4's with a couple of nuts for spacers and on one of the 2x4's we just left the bolt loose enough so that it would turn. And for the handle we used the handle off of the old lawn more that we took the wheels of off.
Here is a spreeder that we bought for spreding epoxy.
Three of the sheets of foam were warped really bad and the vacuum bag didn't pull the edges down so we made this clamp out of a couple of old 2x4's and some threaded rod.
The clamped work really good.
Here is the injector that we made for getting the epoxy under the edges of the sheets that didn't bond.
It is a cattle serenge with a peice of brake line conected to it by a peice of rubber hose. Make sure that you hold or clamp the rubber hose on while you are trying to inject the epoxy if you don't the brake line will pop of and epoxy will go every where and make a mess (we found this out the hard way LOL)
