Update on B8



The main mirror has been curing on the cell and it's new pads for the last 3
days, so most likly in another hour or two when the shade has covered the
scope, I'll be mounting it back into the ota. So far I've used up 2 tubes of
super glue and one doulbe fast dry expoy. And have started repainting too.
