Best way to spend an evening. Build's coming along good! Not many people really take the time to go for the level of detail, and smoothness you are going for. But as they say, if you are going to do something, take the time to do it right.

Can't wait to see what you wind up doing for the deck/sole. This build thread hasn't disappointed me yet.

I love the feel of teak on my bare feet but another part of my body says it will cost to much!

Way to go Eric. The sanding and fairing and guide coating and resanding is a major pain in the rump. But your boat will be the better for it. Now that I've painted mine and can see all of the little flaws, I wish I had taken even more time fairing everything.

Eric I think it would be better to set that junky thing aside. I will haul it off for you this fall Least I can do for a buddy
I am sure it is really going to shine when you do paint it

Thanks for the motivation. I hope my paint looks as good as your. You've built a beautiful boat so far!

I'm still not sure if I will come to the meet. Ten hours of driving for me. I stand stand to fly anymore, all the HS bullcrap sucks.

Good Morning,

First thing I did was set up a dam on the port side edge. Then I ground out the pin holes with a pencil grinder. Glad I did this two of the hole opened further to expose a bigger void. Mixed 30 grams of quick fair and went to work.



Filled small lows



Pin holes filled



Earlier I'd mentioned I needed to dress the trim line. I'd thought about taping it up and applying thickened epoxy to do this.
I think the lazy side of me got to make the call this morning. I thought that is a crap ton of work and I doubt it will yield better results than working with quick fair. So I'm just pulling a fillet with my finger and I think it is going to look pretty good. I plan to use a soft foam sanding pad to finish these.



Well, Back to the fillets...to be continued....

[Eric1]

Everything has been sanded. Two more minor places have been filled.

Fillet in trim line sanded.
