Hi Eric, don't forget to put on a guide coat after maybe your second round of fairing before sanding this will show your highs and lows.

That is the plan. I tested that 3m guide coat on the bow yesterday. It makes it pop out at you and there is no wait time. :wink:

I decided to come to the shop and work on the boat for a little bit. I put on a second batch of Quick Fair.
It was mostly spot filling and filling the keel. I used 90 more grams. It was a couple of hours at a leisurely pace, my knees are tired from the river yesterday.

Hope you all are having a great weekend. :D

Industrial 3D scanner. Input data to surface modeler. Modeler creates map to modified 3 axis CNC. Map includes tool switching to "ez fair" and adequate waits for curing. There is another customization to the CNC, "micro fairing board" that uses tunneling electron microscope to ensure leveling at the molecular level.

Then he will give it a third pass just to make sure.

3D printer for complete (and safe) hull.

There has to be something viable there.

You come up with something to do the fairing and you will be a zillionair in short order :lol:
