Monday - Part 2:
Mixed up some bonding paste as part of an experiment to check the mix ratio / pot life in colder weather.

I then used it to "entomb" the bolts holding the framework to the bulkhead.
( As once the body shell is bonded into position, these two sections will never be separated again. )



The bonding paste turns from a bright blue to a light brown very quickly, which makes me nervous.

But, thankfully, it can still be "shaped" when it is this colour, so it doesn't set as soon as the colour changes.





I used just under 150ml for this little job, so I will need to mix up a HUGE amount when the time comes to bond the body shell on.

Hopefully I will get a bit more done tomorrow.

So until then, take care, Paul.
