September 2015



Work continues on the port side.  The third layer of the hull is coming along nicely.

Thirteen strips on the third layer.  I managed to put in 8 strips in this weekend over one of the most difficult sections of the hull.  

Another view of the work performed this weekend.  A close look shows how I marked the cut line at the keel.  I mark it as I go.  This makes it much easier to cut later.  An old yogurt container (shown center) makes the perfect container which holds just enough epoxy for a single strip.  I get about 3 or four uses before the container cracks or becomes unusable.  The residual epoxy left behind pops out clean once cured.   It also comes with a lid so I can premix (without hardner)  and store it when necessary.
