Yes it is! Trust me, After a day of block sanding your hands feel like stone.
Re: Eric's C21
Damn nice, I really like the way the foam strakes are turning out, especially at the ends.

Re: Eric's C21
Today was another day of block sanding. The bottom and the upper side panel have been sanded again.
I've only found a few lows that need another bit of Quick Fair as shown below.
I'll fill these in the morning when I start to fill the strakes.
Side panel near bow
Bottom on bow opposite side.
It's been a long road to get to this point but I have just little to do before priming and painting.
My check list.
1. Fair last two strakes.
2. Dam and fill upper side panel to transom.
3. Fillet the strakes.
4. Fillet the last spray rail rail and fair.
5. Fair the last side panel.
6. Fair the transom again.
7. Mount castors
8. Wash and prep for primer
Last item for today, My daughter Judy has reached a big day in her life! Today is her 16th Birthday!!!

Re: Eric's C21
Congrats on your daughter's 16th. She'll be wanting to drive in no time.
Those little pencil circles look really familiar. I'm at that stage too. Circle the deep spots, fill, sand, find more deep spots, repeat. I can't wait until I can't find any more deep spots.

I'm with you on fairing, happy it's almost done.

Re: Eric's C21
Very nice work Eric! Do you use flexible sanding sponges to sand the fine contours?
