Sanding...

…and more sanding:
Sunday, October 24, 2010
After two weeks out of town, I got back to work today.
Before I left I had put a second coat of epoxy on the bottom and topsides. At least one more coat will be needed before the weave of the fabric disappears and the surface is smooth and fair, but the quality of the final finish depends more on patient sanding rather than just more epoxy. So today I spent four hours repeatedly going over the hull with an orbital sander and a belt sander; and hand sanding the corners.

If you are curious what a sanded hull looks like, I offer this photo along with my best wishes for more excitement in your life.
