| Tuesday, January 27, 2015

With the so-called and much-hyped "blizzard of 2015" howling outside, I had a shortened workday, choosing to focus just on a few tasks I wanted to complete, beginning with the cockpit sole.  Here, I washed and lightly sanded the new fiberglass, bringing the edges flush with the existing decks and scuffing the remaining surface as needed. 




Afterwards, I cleaned up and solvent-washed, and applied the initial coat of fairing filler, staying away from the two temporarily-covered openings in the sole that I didn't want to take the time to cut out right at the moment.


I vacuumed and solvent-washed the rest of the decks, then applied a second round of epoxy filler as needed, concentrating on the coachroof and other areas that I'd repaired, but spot-filling other known low spots as required.

         

         

         

         


This accomplished what I'd really wanted, and while I might have arranged things differently on a normal day, I decided to close down for the day rather than push my luck in case the strong winds caused a power outage (it didn't).
