The second side was much harder to smooth than the first. It had essentially no tack left, but was still a tiny bit soft. That was enough to make the cloth refuse to slide while smoothing it. Got it done regardless. Bow, transom, and hopefully both remaining coats tomorrow!
Bow, transom, and second coat of epoxy complete. I'll come back tonight for the third coat. A question if anyone is reading. I've run out of the raka epoxy from duckworks, but I do have epoxy from totalboat, can I use that as my third coat?
Beginnings of what I'm hoping to turn into a mirage drive / daggerboard box
Tomorrow may be the last chance at epoxy temperatures without heating my shed. So I got the hull flipped and the bench supports dry fit.
My idea to support the hull for the next operations was successful, kind of. Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution that works. I worked all day without the wooden risers. There was no way that could continue.
I'm about finished with my daggerboard half. My plan is to use this in a mould to make a female copy. I'll use this as a sanding block when shaping my actual board.
