We measured out 5 parts 105 resin to 1 part 205 hardener by volume. When metering large amounts, it's much easier to pour than pump. This is where graduated mixing pots come in handy.
We wet out the first two biaxial strips on the table and transferred them to the boat.
We then proceeded wetting out the 6 ounce cloth, laid it in place and bubble busted once again with the laminating rollers.

| Gloves are getting pretty tacky at this point. Layering gloves is the way to go- just peel off a layer and keep on rolling. |
We made incisions in the dry cloth at each of the sharp bends of the transom notch. The cuts are needed for the tape to lay flat. To make sure they aligned we marked the port/starboard sides with a permanent marker.

Holy cow- is that the time? Let's call it a night. Before heading out, dunk those laminating rollers in an acetone bath if you wish to use them again. Otherwise they become more spreader than roller ;P
