Well, I did the two sides sides today. Considering that wife n Mother n law have been out of state for 4 days now, (been single daddy with a 4 1/2 yr old boy and 3 yr old daughter) had a babysitter for 3 hrs this morning. BAM, project underway! First epoxy job ever, so I can’t wait to see how much sanding will be required tomorrow. I’ll have my wife back tomorrow so hopefully I’ll get the bottom and transom sandwich set up so I can start stitching at night during the week. Felt good to be actually making something today
So the first to epoxy jobs I would say meh, not so bad. The first joint was tits on top but I didn’t scrape up the bottom side. That’s gonna take a while to fix! The second I think came out as it should. I put the bottom together, and also the transom sandwich. Prepped the bulkheads and cut the wire stitches. Can’t wait to work on
stitching the sides
Stitched and tacked. Having done my share of caulking over the years made this much easier than anticipated. Got a little messy figuring out the mixing and application part but now I’m ready to de-stich and go for some clean jumbo fillets!
