Nice progress! 8)

One thing about hardened epoxy, it can't take extreme heat. Thus, if you have a metal tool coated with hardened epoxy you can use a torch or heat gun and it will soften the epoxy to remove it more easily.

About 30 minor low spots to fill for my last pass. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have primer on.

My wife and daughter were in Florida this weekend, so I made lots of progress. Sanded. Primed 2 coats, faired again, sanded. Sides ready for 2 more coats of primer and the bottom is ready for graphite. Unfortunately, I have a work trips this next week. Bummer.

Will you beat the ice in November to launch is the question. I am guessing no?

Luckily, the ice doesn't start until December, but I would love to have it finished for when I go to florida over Thanksgiving. I'm prepping everything so that when I get back I can start right into the graphite epoxy bottom.

In my head I have the rest of it designed. The only thing I'm having trouble with is the color. Either a safe choice of cobalt blue or florescent lime green.

Thanks
