Outside Seams
After an overnight cure, I stripped the tape off the outside seams. I got generally nice results where the inside fillets formed against the tape, but there were a few hickeys and concavities. The bow was something of a mess with the side panels not flush with the bow panel
Hickey Near the Stern
The Ugliness at the bow
The
hickeys were easy to fix with a little epoxy putty. Didn't bother with
caulking gun--just troweled it in out of the pot with a tongue
depressor. Some time with a
power sander and some 60 grit improved the bow enormously and got the
chines into a nicely rounded shape. Biggest problem at this point is
that spouse is not enchanted by sound of sander and shop vac running for long periods..
