Hi all,
This is the first update on Surrey & Hants Radio Control Car Club's progrress.
The old astro is completely gone. After having peeled up the new top layer, the old under layer has been completely removed and the top layer but back down. Giving us this...
Which basically leads to a 5 or 6 very large (and ridiculously heavy) sections
Which has all been very neatly laid down and the edges of each of the c. 10 - 20m strips cleanly cut to give a smooth edge to line up against the next..
These edges were then peeled back to slide under some very professional (and heavily researched) fibre glass "tape" which runs the entire length of each strip and under the joins where 2 ends meet
Each strip has been covered with high quality adhesive and left to set
Then to ensure the astro sealed well to itself and to the fibre glass tape all the filled hoses have been neatly placed to weigh down the bonding.
This has given us a very, very consistent surface and a base layer from which we are free to build upon
