2017 December 22: Side covers (1.50 hours)

• Used fiberglass resin to secure the bottom hooks to the side covers. I clamped the bent wire in place using a single small spring clamp. Then I poured the resin. After a couple of hours - when the resin was nearly set on this mid-50's° day - I removed the spring clamps. I'll likely pour a bit more on top of this first pour to fill in the gaps left by the spring clamps, etc. I've been nervous about doing this resin work for a long time. So far, I am very pleased with the process and outcome.
