The end is near

So after waiting most of the day for the slow cure epoxy to finish hardening, I was able to get out and do a little sanding. I was impressed with my glasswork, no bubbles, no puddles, so I guess I did OK. Sanded the flat decking area's and the glass seams with 80 grit on the orbital, then used the fairing board on the bottom of the hull to smooth that out, I still need to sand the sides, but its looking good. I'm not sanding all the way to smooth, but just taking the roughness off and leaving a slightly textured surface. When I'm done with that I plan to brush on one final coat of filler compound (4:1 epoxy/qcells) and than do the final sanding before the primer coat. (I'm planning to wait till all the moulds are ready for primer so I can do them all in one messy paint session). More sanding tomorrow. I know I'm taking a long time, and that I could probably skip some of these steps, but I'm basically doing this on my own, learning as I go. I'm one who thinks the process is just as, if not more important than the result, and I'm enjoying every little step along the way. If my moulds are perfect, the boat will be to. I see the development of this boat as the development of myself.
