<div dir="ltr">Looking good Dave! I have yet to form my styrofoam block but it's my next hurdle. I think you explained how you made your hot wire but I can't find the thread. Would love to know how you did it or let me know what date you sent it and I'll try and find it in the archives. I have a welding machine but it may be too much oomph even on it's lowest setting to cut without setting the styrofoam on fire.<div>Rick </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, May 3, 2019 at 11:09 PM hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="gmail-m_-2217294109612984752ydpe49ab89yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div></div>

Sliced the foam to 1/4" sheets, and trapazoid shapes to sit over each of the tribs. Then tapped it into place and then spray glued and tinfoil applied to protect the foam. Tomorrow a couple of coats of wax and then the first layer of matt glass. The inner shell will be attached to the exoskeleton to create the ballast tanks. Plan is 4 total, two aft and two adjacent to the rear pilot. Now that i got the form work dialed in, three more to go.<div><br></div><div>David</div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br></div>
