Bottom almost ready to paint


I put the second and last coat of epoxy on the outside of the hull this afternoon. The other day I fitted the keel and glued and screwed it on. I countersunk the screws and then filled the holes with thickened epoxy today before coating it all with epoxy. I will need to sand the filled holes once it cures. I probably ought to give the keel a second coat of epoxy too before I paint.

I bought a gallon of semi-gloss Rustoleum marine paint and one quart of bright red.

I also cut the pattern for my oars and cut the oars to their rough shape. Hopefully I'll have some photos of them next time. I think their going to turn out nicely.
