Foam layer 3 of 3

I've completed layer 3 of the foam for the hull. Here's a view of it curing.

Foam layer 3 completed
Here's another timelapse of the process.




This required cutting out one last sheet of foam. One whole sheet of foam. And you'll see that on the far side I used several small left over pieces of foam to fill in the rest of the area since I cannot easily find more large foam boards.  (See previous post)

The other update you'll see here is me filling in my new weight objects. I felt that the available heavy objects was risking having pockets of uneven attachment so I invested in 12 Home Depot buckets with tops and filled them about half way with water to provide a good uniform weighting, but be easily moveable.  I looked for 3 gallon buckets but they cost noteably more than the 5 gallon ones.
