Skimcoat - a thin layer of material applied over the underlying surface to give it a smooth finish. I have started this process though I only got one side done before I had to attend to other things. This is fine as the temperature was dropping fast as a new cold front moved it. The weather is suppose to be on the cold side for the next few days so I may not get much done. Skimcoating with epoxy is a new task for me. What I did today was lay on a thin smooth coat to fill in glass transitions, wows, low spots and other small irregularities. I presanded with a sanding board with a beltsander belt on it to help identify the high spots and to knock them off. The next step will be to sand this when it has cured and then using a 1/6" serrated trowel lay down a serrated layer of filler. This will get sanded so that the ridges are in plane and then I will fill in the gaps to hopefully arrive at the final smooth surface. Such a smooth surface will not only be aestetically pleasing but will also mean a faster hull.
