Work on barrier coating the interior of the hull continues

Work on barrier coating the interior of the hull continues. We're going with a bright finish consisting of two rounds of West Epoxy catalyzed with 207 Special hardener. This will be followed with two or three rounds of two-part urethane clear.

The second coat of epoxy is still a little rough. Epoxy is not self-levelling like paint. Visible in this photo are the side panel scarf joint and the bottom panel butt blocks. Switching to a spray gun for the subsequent varnish coats will minimize sanding between coats and flatten out the surface !
