The tiller stub laminated to the case:
Port float (left) fully coated with SP hibuild, which ended my supplies of that stuff. From now I will use the Jotun HB, with which I have no experience yet.
The Starboard hull is soon faired to 240 grit and ready for the last HB layer, which will also act as a protective layer for transportation (remember 20 below outside, snow storms and salty roads, an unfriendly environment for cars, cargo as well as humans:-))
I gave the rudder case with tiller stub a thin layer of fairing compound, and sanded down most of it. I decided to give the Jotun stuff a try, and covered it all, even though more filling is required, but it was hard to see when everything was black and white. Easy to apply in a fairly thick film with a roller.
The pop top/main hatch got the same treatment. Sin cethe last post, I applied a "big fill", finding the ultimate mixing ratio to be somewhere between 25 -30% by weight of micro glass balloons, and sanded off about 95% of that, then a scimming coat using 20% of the balloons. Today a layer of Jotun Epoxy Yacht HB.
The rudder case and the pop top in front of the suspended starboard float, ready for the last HB coat.
I think everything in my workshop is covered in dust now. Looking forward to the main hull.....
