Alrighty… resurrecting an old project that was sitting on the bench frustrating me.
Here’s the start, channels, and wires installed.
(lesson learned here - i would now scuff/sand the paint to give it a bit extra grip, and use epoxy instead of poly)Really like the result except for the lumps at the 90 connectors…
So now we are pretty much caught up to today. I didn’t feel like the FG/GF was really sticking… and it peeled off easily with just my hands…(that’s not good).
So i re-sanded the top and sides, then used some epoxy this time with the last piece/section of this blue GF. I did not use the vacuum pump, merely wanted to get this functional and usable. I have almost everything to have a 3rd deck for guests - so time to get it done!
I’m cutting some corners and did not pull the 90* wires to fix the lumps. Good enough.
here’s the partially finished results:
Want to repaint the edges black, and the bottom needs some cleanup, and re-drill the holes as they are nicely clogged with epoxy now. Some grip and ready for electronics next. I might leave a stripe of the blue bare to give it some color on top besides grip.
Going to go a single motor setup - trying to pick which.

I have one of psychotiller’s mounts i might try, or get another Enertion or DIYes.
Will update more when i get the next pieces figured out and installed.
Thanks for reading and any questions/comments.
