Day 48 and 49: Sanding


2 days of sanding and the decks are looking good.

Lonnie of Sundog Expeditions has been helping me out a lot with the info.  Details of the oars and now how the heck to paint this thing.  Thanks to him, I've got a plan now... just need to execute.

One of the reasons it took 2 days to finish the sanding was this detail...

In this pic: the top 2 inches of the inside hull are faired with wood powder instead of the microballoons.  I was worried the microballoons were not ideal for glueing on the gunwale so I used the wood powder which is more work to sand but hopefully better bonding capacity.

A little shout out to KEXP for keeping the energy high for these long sanding days.  Especially Sheryl Waters and the top albums of 2009 show.  Thank you!
