Glass fiber application finished in October, followed by sanding for a smooth, uniform surface. Localized and total vacuum tests verified leak-proof integrity, with repairs done. Preparation for layering included painting and applying release wax. Draping used linen (for uniform expansion) and carbon fiber (for finish and stiffness). Vacuum resin infusion was successful. Demolding is postponed until the end of the month for team birthdays. Next steps: extractor hood construction and hull mold preparation.
