Captains Log-Stardate 04-10-08 - 1:The ships rudder is still in sickbay. Doctor Jim has been working miracles and the patient is just about out of recovery. Today the doc installed a layer of 6 oz glass and epoxy on the roughed up and faired original gelcoat. A narrow strip of glass was 1st installed on all the edges and wrapped onto the sides of the rudder, faired out after curing, then the sides were installed. This thin new skin should stabilize the gelcoat cracks which appeared after the rudder's last battle with the Klingon rudder surgeons. The doc will apply two more coats of epoxy as final fairing to prep the rudder for 3 coats of 2-part urethane to match the ship. This coating will be installed later at the Starfleet Academy drydock facility in College Park. See pics below taken from the satellite outpost on Olympus 320."Make it so number 1"
