Here is part 2 pf the keel pour.
We sure are pleased with the results so far, the mold held up very well and did it’s job admirably.
The big concern had been excessive off gassing “smoking” and moisture expansion which would yield a poor finish and foul the atmosphere in the foundry. We kept the mold very dry and used a sodium silicate solution “water glass” coating and it worked very well.
Gus Sebastian and Chris Grace will head back into Seattle Monday morning. The lead keel should arrive here in PT in the afternoon.
