Yesterday we were busy gluing pieces together and adding the gussets so the fiberglass will bend around the corners.  Last night we got the interior corners of the tub finished up.

We did learn another lesson the hard way… it takes a lot of time to get those little pieces bent and laying right so by the time we got to the other side, the resin was starting to set up.  It turns into a weird jelly type substance.  We went ahead and poured it on, but it was impossible to spread and we didn’t really get that last seam as wet with resin as we needed to.

so at this point all the interior seams are done! yay! BUT the underside of the tub is pretty much untouched.  So it’s time to flip this beast upside down, finish sanding some seams, and begin our day of fiberglass to get that all finished up.

This piece was gigantic…and it was a disaster.  The fiberglass is too thick to wrap around edges like a present so the corners are bubbly and it just didn’t work. We will definitely have some fixing to do here.

There were actually quite a few places that just didn’t adhere quite right.. so we bit the bullet and cut them out.

So now that I have all of that cleaned up, it’s time to actually finish covering the bottom of the camper in fiberglass.

So there we go! the entire lower half of the camper is fully encased in fiberglass! …and jason and I are fully encased in fiberglass dust. My arms are so itchy!!! Either way, we made a TON of progress today!  The camper is starting to get a little heavier and harder to just flip around in the yard. Pretty soon we’re going to have to consider how to tie it into the truck and how to lift it on and off.
