Garage Works - 8/23/23

I sanded down the top deck laminate laps this morning.  And then I immediately laminated the rail band.  On this one, I decided to use the 3" tape all around the board.

I cut reliefs across the nose and tail - then I used saran wrap around the board to make sure the edges were nice and tight.


And after some time to harden, I removed the saran wrap to reveal a beautiful board coming to life!!!  I'll sand the rail tape edges a bit, then place the first fill coat tomorrow.  This first coat will be a thin one - just to smooth out the bumps a bit so I can add the decals/labels.

After that its sanding, filling, sanding, drilling, adding plugs, filling, sanding, sanding, sanding.  This board will likely get wet sometime next week.


Also today, La and I got the teak lawn furniture all cleaned up.  Tomorrow she said she'll add the teak oil.  That was actually a lot of fun!!!!
