Skid plate kits, a word of caution !
For the benefit of those who've never tried it before, I had my first attempt at fitting Nova Craft factory supplied Kevlar skid plates at the weekend.
I'd watched their most recent YouTube video more than once and thought I had it sorted in my head, but luckily I'd also done the unmanly thing and read the enclosed instructions ;), which stated that it might be worthwhile for the uninitiated to make up two resin mixes rather than one full one.
I duly did this and thank God I did, because being a very warm day, each mix turned into a hard, unusable lump in very short order, in fact very much quicker that the 20 mins that the instructions said it should be workable for.
I got the job done, and for a first attempt I'm pleased with the result, but had I mixed all the resin in one go, it would have gone hard before I'd got anywhere near starting the second plate.
So be warned, do it on a cooler day and out of direct sunlight.
