Farewell cable ties

Today we removed the cables ties (well, most of them anyway), in preparation for a little more gluing, and the beginning of fibreglassing.  

First we had to cut them, and this proved to be rather tougher than I expected.  I just didn't have the strength in my hands to cut through the plastic with these old scissors.




So we made a plan.  Dad cut the ties, and I used a pair of pliers to pull them free.

As you can see, even this was pretty tough!   But together we succeeded, and now we are ready to glue a few remaining holes and move on to fibreglassing.
