Last update: Mar 31 2008
 |
Mar 31 2008 Trimmed the excess cloth off this morning with a Stanley knife. |
 |
Mar 30 2008 23.00 Finished the third coat. The colours in the wood look really good. In the left hand corner you can see the wiring arrangement for today. The garage has been kept warm all day with heaters attached via extension leads to different electric groups in our house. |
 |
Mar 30 2008 17.00 Finished the second coat. This took about 90 minutes. Ton has now gone home and I will have to do the third layer alone later this evening.

 |
Mar 30 2008 13.00 Time for lunch. Just finished the first coat. It took just under 2 hours with two of us working. |
 |
Mar 30 2008 11.30 am Half way thru applying the first coat |
 |
Mar 30 20008 10 am Geoff has helped me to roll out the glass fibre onto the boot and smooth it out. In the meantime Ton had arrived to help me with the epoxy coating and we first went inside, drank coffee and reviewed all the words of wisdom we have about applying epoxy. Ton is also building his first boat and offered to help me today and learn together about applying epoxy. |
 |
Mar 30 2008 9 am Last look at the boat with bare wood. The garage is nice and warm as I ran two heaters all night. The outside temperature at 8 am was 8C and predicted to be 12C this afternoon which allowed me to blast the garage to a nice warm temperature of 23C.

Mar 21 2008 Some time ago I made a date with a friend to add the epoxy today. Unfortunateley as the time approached the weather forecast got worse and will fix another date when it gets warmer. From my warm living room, I look out at a winter scene of snow. However I did manage to locally warm up a small area at the bow and stern and added the name to the boat. |
