Darin's UL1 Race Prep

[egneg]

It remains to be seen if my paint is gonna hold up to tape! All I painted was the hatch and cowl. I'm in the same boat as you...waiting for a water jacket. I gave up on the POS one that comes on the boat. Also had to do your major surgery on the right sponson where the fin bolts on. Mine came with the sponson pretty badly split open already. Just finished that job. I'm going to use the foam you suggested (it just arrived today) and pour it in several places in the boat. I just don't like how flimsy the hull is. Now I'm trying to find the little 1 oz medicine cups to measure that stuff. No luck at Walgreens!

I use the the condiment cups from Micky D's and put my own markings. As long as the mixing ratios are 1:1 or by weight they will work.

A good place for small disposable mixing cups is GFS (Gordon Food Services). They have several different sizes and shapes.

I will be interested to hear more about you experience with the expanding foam. I picked up a new UL-1 last week and upon first inspection my turn fin area seems to be fine. I plan on "injecting" West Systems epoxy into the turn fin mounting holes to increase strength in that area.

Great idea! I have a small digital scale I can use. Thanks!! Never thought about the condiment cups!

I use the small disposable Dixie bathroom paper cups for all mixing.

Actually, one of the best souces is your local pharmacist. They provide neat measuring cups for methodone users with markings.
You have to ask them with a very straight face

I asked the pharmacist at my local CVS and they said they didn't have any little cups. Apparently we don't have enough druggies around here!

Some chemicals don't like the wax coating on those cups.

No wax coating on small paper Dixie cups.

Mixing Cups

Niros Gyros
Culvers

They always have stacks of small mixing cups for me… to……..use…..

I have not bought a mixing cup in years... they come with the sandwich..

[sailr]

Ha! Good one Grim. All my places down here seem to have the condiments in packets, not cups. No worries!

[AndyKunz]

Niros is great, Mike. Want to meet for lunch Thu 11:30 there?

Andy

[sailr]

Dang! You're making me hungry! Now I guess I'll have to go get a gyro down the street tomorrow!

[Capt. Crash]

I drink a lot of crystal light...the little plastic cups it comes in is perfect for the job. Ya get 6 to a package.

Good Morning Darin...

Following your instructions... "

Maybe a dumb question... But... Why not put 2 Turn Fins on... ??? ??? one on each side as I see some doing on the SV27, w/the factory selling a Port side fin... ???

Also, to save a few $$$, think I can get away with using 1 or both of my crawler lipo's
