Jan 5: 2 flavors of glue

started gluing today. 
used more silicone than i thought i would need.

made two flavors:  one, epoxy mixed with wood flour and silicone, about the consistency of peanut butter.  the other, like thick hot glue using only silicone and epoxy. 


the dark brown stuff is the thicker. used it for the floor panel attacent to the garboard. 

the other was more clear and white, like elmers glue.  used it for the other long joints and the stems. 


within a few hours they were starting ro get tacky. 

had the heat blasting so the epoxy  would hopefully cure faster. 

so far so good. tomorrow i will cut out the wires. hopefully she wont fall apart!

happy birthday to my wonderful, patient wife. 
  hate to get sidetracked, but heres the gumbo i made for dinner.....

mmm good!
