You definitely fit right in here!

Glass job looks great, nice work!

I really admire the hell out of people like you who find a way to get a build done under difficult circumstances like this. I know how trying it can occasionally be under ideal circumstances. Hats off on sticking with it, glassing looks first rate!

BOAT IS NOW READY FOR SANDING TO RECEIVE THE 1ST COAT OF PAINT.
FAIRING WAS DONE WITH FUMED SILICA MIXED WITH EPOXY FOR THE 1ST LAYER AND ALUMINOSILICATE WITH EPOXY FOR THE 2ND LAYER.
LITTLE COLOR WAS ADDED TO MAKE IT EASIER TO SEE.
WORK WAS COMPLICATED WITH BIRD DROPPINGS AND LEAVES :)
