Flowery Heartbreak
 |
On the way to its new owner, this
gorgeous Surftech Takayama Model T was run over by a truck |
 |
The rail got squashed, bottom displaced a
bit |
 |
Start over, then!
Everything crunched is cut out, new piece of EPS foam fit in
and faired |
 |
New EPS foam filled and glassed over |
 |
New veneer vacuum-bagged on, duplicating
the factory procedure with bottom veneer going on first, feathered out, then
deck veneer overlapping, for extra meat on the rails |
 |
New veneer all feathered out |
 |
New veneer glassed over, faired and
sanding-coated |
 |
A Sunday afternoon with a mug of Chai
tea and Telemann in the background, a detail brush and a handful of Acrylic
paints to recreate the fabric overlay; a final coating of finish resin,
wet-sanding 400, 600, 1200 grit, a good polish, and
a big Ta-da |
