I didn't feel like hitting the beach this afternoon... all that paddling yesterday kinda spoiled it for me. So I decided to make a big push on No.41
I got the rough sanding finished and noted that there were a few spots that needed some fill - the transom and the walls of the trench in addition to those on the bottom deck.
Slow and steady, with light pressure when using the random orbital sander makes for great results.
The sanding looks really good - but there's more to be done.
I just got in from placing the fill in the trench walls.
I used aerosil and milled fibers to get the epoxy to thicken (so it would hold on the vertical walls). And I got the low spots on the bottom deck filled with another coat of epoxy.
After sanding, I'll get the plugs installed (and I'll likely go surf tomorrow). So that leaves sanding the plugs on Wednesday and getting the 2K clear coat on. Thursday I'll get the deck pads on and then No.41 will be finished!
Whew!
