Work on the boat seems to have slowed in pace. No big dramatic steps forward like wiring panels together and suddenly you can envision the boat. Today I made my first couple of mistakes too. I had just spread out a big batch of epoxy and then proceeded to stick my arm in it. Luckily I coat myself in barrier cream up to my elbows! Next I tackled the removal of the molding clay barriers that I had made to facilitate making end fillets for the diagonals only to discover the clay was binding with the epoxy. Good lesson as I was about to start making underside fillets for the bunk boards. I stopped before I started pouring epoxy and made a test jig. I am using base molding as a mold to form up the fillet. The photos show one mold in place and the test sample I made to see if the base mould material releases - it's some nasty kind of plastic that smells of styrene. People put this stuff in their houses?!
Having work slow down hasn't been all bad. I can do other things in between. On Monday I stood outside staring up at the blue sky trying to locate the honking sound I was hearing, there were four snow geese flying overhead. They were pretty high up and flying in pairs. It was great to watch.
