18 th November.

Lazy day.


Stbd bunk tops and lockers finished with painting.  Maybe Im going over the top but it makes me happy.  1 layer of epoxy resin (2 in some places), 2 coats of epoxy primer and 2 coats of polyurethane top coat.  All light sanded between coats and done within less than 24 hours between coats (except for epoxy resin coating which was done before building the hull using peel ply.)


Looking inside a locker.


All that boring work and you can see nothing.  Now I can glue the bunk top down and forget.  Going to fiddle with other things more interesting for a bit before I tackle the port side.  This evening I reshaped the windows to get a bit more pleasing shape (for me).  Got very little area for play as limited by the size of my polycarbonate.  Plan calls for 6mm pc. but got 8mm.  Pc. has a lower UV resistance but is many times stronger.  The stuff I got has a UV protection coating which should make it last a bit longer but at least it is bullet proof and stronger than the ply it will be fixed to.  One thing less to worry about in a storm.
