As a sort of penance for my stupidity, on Saturday morning, I decided to regrind everything just to make sure it was ready for round two of the scarf joints. With the remnants of Earnesto blowing in, however, the day was shortened, but I did manage get everything cleaned back up and reground, and also filled the forward stanchion holes I drilled out with biax and expoxy. This time the batches hardened in no time like they were supposed to. I switched the pump to the fast hardener as well.
I added the pictures to a new "September" web album - not much new to look at yet, so I tried a different perspective...
