Week 13

Today was the beginning of Step 4, Filling the Bottom.

Tom was here right on time and after a few brief showers got to work.

Tom mixed up a mixture of epoxy resin and 410 microlight filler, mixing it into a peanut butter like consistency.

After rolling clear epoxy resin onto the hull and allowing it to become tacky, Tom troweled the mixture onto the hull filling small voids as he went.

On Wednesday Step 5, Tom was back at work, even with the threat of the Tropical Storm Hanna. Tom again faired the epoxy to a smooth surface with 60 grit paper.

Its now time for the barrier coats on our used boat.
