Re: No Excuse
So I stopped the work to ask them both - Do you know what Zen is? Both responded yes (with a look of WTF? You think we are ignorant!). Okay...then do you find sanding to be Zen-like? Both said yes!
This is what they are dealing with. I started the repair on where the Blue Marlin spike (or delivery van) hit her. Taped the edges of good, then sanded out the bad with the corner sander. Heavy, neat coat of epoxy, and after I was sure there were no drips, pulled the tape. Anyone see where this going?

Re: No Excuse
Are you going to highlight the hull scar, like a pirate's cheek with a sabre slash? Larry would approve!

Retaped the scar made by the Hammerhead Shark (or delivery truck), added another coat of neat epoxy and then filled everything with epoxy mixed with the BBC fairing additive (microballoons...the purple stuff). Pulled the tape after once again making sure it was not dripping or sagging.

Re: No Excuse
Looks like you are making more things to sand!

Re: No Excuse
I didn't make it. It was the gouge from when the Somali pirates were trying to board (or delivery truck).

I was joking more than anything.
