I am planning to build a large teardrop in the future. Originally I was planning a more traditional wood skeleton with aluminum skin, but have decided to go foam now. Your video series has been my favorite so far. I will probably have a hundred questions once I get started...maybe next winter.

I probably have a hundred things I would do differently next time. I would definitely try to build the foam first and then fiberglass everything as one big piece. Building it in sections allowed me to make most of it in my heated workshop over the winter but made it a lot more work to assemble in the garage.

man Im glad im not as OCD as you. you could have cut a small valley on the inside for that chord and tape over. also for a foamie its easier and firmer foundation to set 2x6 or 2x4 on top of wood deck and screw the foam into the 2x4's instead of your plexy-glued on bottom. but hey looks fun.

True. But I really liked the shape of the back with the hump. A lot more work, but worth it to me.

Even if you don't like it I would still suggest to wear some proper gloves when working with epoxy, once you are sensitized to the chemicals in the adhesive you're basically fucked for life. Thanks for the nice videos, gave me a lot of information for my own build
