..."having a BLAST with acetone"....
...that reminds me...in 1992 I flew freight out of San Antonio to Laredo,Tx (home for 9 mo, 3 wks, 4 days, 7 hrs, 12 mins and 83 seconds!) One morning as I was about to taxi out ...a STRONG vapor from the steel mesh barrier screen behind me overtook the cockpit. I shut the plane down (it was the same plane as in the picture there on the left) and opened the door to get some fresh air. "They" were quite pissed to have to unload all the freight to get to "the package" ...but when they found a busted bottle of your famous Acetone ...they eased up on me for delaying the flight.Well, part of that is that while I'm working on getting the last of the bondo, the fumes are rising up through the inspection port.... and right into my face...
I hope people read this post - that's the primary reason I'm taking so much time and adding so many pictures to it. I'm hoping someone will come in later and have their own little how-to guide
Talk it to death....that's how you do it!!!
Just take a deep breath and pour....super easy... You know what to do!

Gouvernail had mentioned in earlier threads of the need to use glass mat to provide vertical or downward tension on the tube...to keep the hull from pulling away (down) from the tube.
