15-11-11: Stern Hatch

I just spent two hours building again... 
I glued the stern hatch flange in place.


Hopefully this batch of epoxy will turn out better than the last one. For the first time ever the epoxy did not turn out right when I glued the spacer in place. I always try to leave a bit of epoxy in the mixing pot in order to have a mean of checking the state of curing. Last batch turned out brittle. I did not think the proportions of resin and hardener was so critical, but I can find no other explanation. I used a kitchen scale, but its not very accurate when measuring small amounts (<10 gr.)
