| Adding more resin to the mold. |
We got to the workshop this morning to discover that a lot of resin had leaked out of the stator we left to set before leaving yesterday, and what resin was left hadn't set properly - largely due to our in-exact mixing of the chemicals to make the resin. So we mixed up a new batch of resin, filled up the mold and set it out in the sun to dry - any hopefully not leak!

The fact that there was a leak means that we will have to add some more screws/clamps to hopefully get a tighter fit before we attempt to set another stator.
This constant process of improving on the design and implementation at each stage is really evident here at WindAid, especially with the new smaller turbines, where Michael is trying to drive costs down to a bare minimum and create a build process that can be easily replicated any where in the world.
