Garage Works - 4/21/2023

After I got back home, I started sanding No.30.  I got the high points leveled out and identified the low spots.

After sanding the top and the bottom, I cleaned up the dust from the board and got the decals on both decks.



And after dinner I went ahead and got the second fill coat put on to the top deck.  I used 7.7 ounces for the first pour, then followed it up with 2.8 ounces for the last bit that still needed a coating.

The albatross decal was lifting a hair - but I got it weighted down with a grinding bit.


Tomorrow I'll touch up any spots on the top deck that are still low and also around the decals (so I have sanding room).  Then when that hardens, I'll flip the board and get the bottom deck fill coat on.

This fill coat went on pretty thin - so I'll be able to lightly sand the area where I'll install the vent and the leash plug and get those installed when I'm touching up the top deck.

I think I could be going through the final sanding on Sunday.  I'll let the board rest so the epoxy can settle, then I'll get this in the water sometime next week.

Random Pictures from a Random Surfer's Journal

I took a break after lunch - we went back to Patagonia and I sat on their couch and browsed through a Surfer's Journal.  Cool pictures abound -




I love the surf culture and how prevalent it is everywhere you look up here.  Oh, and the shop had these cool patches.


La got the Whale Shark one for me!

PT Squadron

The Navy Museum has a penny press and as we were looking at the four choices, I saw a cool looking shark. Low and behold - the shark was this logo that was in the World War II section.

Snow Day! Pushing out the remaining museum photos

La's favorite beer - in Imperial Japanese dressing. Hopefully in the next few posts, I'll highlight some things that most people just pass by. I am not unique, it's that these things just caught my eye.
