Pro tip.

Throw away all clothing with epoxy on. I had a pair of underwear with a spot of epoxy about the size of a nickel. Well, one evening my left hip was hurtin and I just happened to put the heating pad on that hip on the epoxy spot. I dozed off and woke up with a terrible pain and proceeded to watch a blister grow to the size of a 50 cent piece over a 30 minute period.

So, I post cured my undershorts. But, you know, it can happen to anyone because if you have a spot of epoxy and the sun hits it hard; it'll do the same, not to mention the skin contact to that spot is repeated as well.

Anyhow, throw out clothes that get epoxy on them. Now, I'm pretty religious. A crusty spot and the thing becomes a shop rag.

Sounds to me the admiral wants her ship launched before another freezeup. Can it happen?

Not gonna happen this year Fallguy. I still have a shitload of stuff to do. We'll see how far along I get this year. I want to get the main cabin top on and the entire outside faired and ready for paint. We'll see.

Here's a teaser of what happened today in the boat shed.

Nice. The Admiral knows epoxy---love the paint stir attachment/drill trick for stirring. After watching I wanted to take some ibuprofen in sympathy.

Hey Dougster

Yeah, Lori's killing it. Keeps me hoppin'!! Think I took about a half dozen Tylenol Extra Strength. I don't remember much when I woke up 36 hrs later. :lol: Just kidding.

The work you're doing... hard to keep those big ones moving forward without some help now and again. Hopefully Jeff will agree.

Today's vLog update: Lori joins in to knock out a small laminating job in no time. Had trouble with the sound again. Frikkin' sport camera's suck. Anyhow here ya go....

Be sure to leave a comment there. It helps a lot. Our little channel has grown quite a bit in the last year and we just passed 600 subscribers. Watch time is still lagging so sit back and relax and watch me suffer endless sanding, glassing, fairing etc.
