    Decks and gunwales are on. A bit of hand sanding and fiddling in the morning, and the gunwales will get sealed with epoxy.

    Love hearing that pine lasted that long! Kind of why I want to try Poplar. Technically it is a hardwood, it’s light, it will be encased in epoxy, so no rot worries, and I’m not planning on beating the crap out of the boat, I think the poplar will survive.

    Yes, I put the football on top of the main layer of glass. I’m not too concerned with getting that right. More so on the extra glass I put on the stems.

    Did the wet out coat, and one fill coat today. Was going to do an additional fill coat, but I have some scraping to do first. I had trouble with the bias strips on the stems, that need attention. I also laid a piece of glass over the football, and that needs some scraping as well. The epoxy...

    Thanks! Glassing today, no helper. I need to cut my bias strips for the stems, along with a layer for the football. Think I’ll lay those on for the next epoxy coat.
