| This is a boatbuilder on epoxy. Any questions? |
| When the butt blocks are dried, you can use your duct tape and tape the seams of the boat together like so. This is a fun step. Anything to do with duct tape is fun, really. Just don't get it in your hair. |
| Then you cut your spreaders to ...spread the sides apart. (of course!) I have also started to cut my strips of cloth and have laid them out in preparation for making the fillets. FYI Yes my spreaders are an old hockey stick. |
| Two highly experienced professionals here. I am using my plastic spatula to lay down epoxy mixed with colloidal silica. My assistant is laying the cloth on to the fillet. Like a machine, baby! Like a machine! |
| All the seams have dried and the hull is a lot stiffer. Here I am pretending to go steaming down the river. (Steaming along!) |
