Thank you as always, Jeff!

Only fairing and vacuuming at this point. :lol: , but down to places like this, and working on the shape of the stem. All progress...

Interested in opinions though, does it look like more fairing material on here than normal? This is the sum of 3-4 light (I think :doh: ) targeted coats.

If the Zen Master of sanding thinks you are "fine" Then you are golden maybe better than golden :lol: :lol:

Thanks, Cap'n!

I wouldn't want to fair without this 16" Dura Block.

This weekend I made the switch from 40 grit to 80, and stepped down to a softer 3"x9" hand pad, and it too seems to be imperative.

If there are any more spots that need attention, I'm going to let the primer show them to me.

In the meantime, I'm scratching my head about strakes. :doh:

Easy, I believe, to add a few straight ones as drawn in the plans, but I'd like to bring the tips of them all the way forward which requires some bendi-ness.

The head scratching will continue...

Thanks to all for answering my questions when I hi-jack threads.
