Today we sanded the fiberglass and put the first coat of fairing compound. We tested out the Raka phenolic microspheres on the bottom and hit the sides with West System microlight.
The glass looked pretty good after last night. Just a couple bubbles and some curtains where we went a little heavy on the epoxy.
Our routine for the fairing was for Tom and Lonnie to spread on the fairing while I served as the mixologist. With 3 people it went pretty quickly.

Now all we have to do it wait.
The wood pile is slowly increasing. Hopefully by the time we are done with the hull, Lonnie and Gail will have enough wood for the winter.
Halloween is coming so we carved pumpkins tonight. I was pretty excited when Gail arrived home from work with these big orange surprises.
Guess who doesn't have an MFA.
