Layered up.

Laying of the plywood with epoxy between is moving along. I'm using a microfiber thickening in the epoxy, and laying down a thick layer between the plywood layers. Making sure I'm getting a good "ozing-out" so there is no air pockets. I'm also sealing both sides of the plywood with CPES (Smith's Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer) as well.

Second layer.

Third layer goes down, with an initial fairing of the second.


The third layer is laid, making sure I'm getting nice tight joints by hand planing each 6" (150 mm) plywood strip for a nice joint. An initial fairing, and then screw the bottom down to chines, keel and frames with #10 x 1 1/4" silicon bronze screws.


Once again sealed with CEPS before finish fairing.
