So last night there was a big snowstorm, so the school cancelled all classes. To make use of the extra time, we worked from 2pm until 11pm trying to perfect the carbon fiber vacumm bagging process. It wasn't suppose to take that long, but this was our first time and our only guide was guy from England on youtube. We went through two vacuum bags, but neither of them held the vacuum, so we just left it overnight to cure. Today we checked the model and although it has cured, the carbon fiber was flexible and not stiff at all. It literally took an hour trying to get the model out. It looks nice, but it is not usable because it is too flexible. As a result, we had to postpone the tow tank test tomorrow with Steven's Institute until next week. Better luck tomorrow with Nick's hull.
