Flipped her over!

Planing bottom of centreboard trunk
Dale Simonson:
Bottom of centreboard trunk now sanded fair
Dale Simonson:
I'll have to fill the holes made by widening the trunk
Dale Simonson:
shaping the bow transitions
Dale Simonson:
bow transitions
Dale Simonson:
stern bottom panel to garboard will need a little filling
Dale Simonson:
starboard side is better, but I might as well fill that little dimple in the glue joint
Dale Simonson:
shot of bow (sorry it's not focused) shows a small void on the starboard side
Dale Simonson:
before sanding
Dale Simonson:
so I slathered some filleting mix along the whole joint
Dale Simonson:
and filled those slots on the trunk
Dale Simonson:
ready for wetting out with epoxy
Dale Simonson:
after sanding
Dale Simonson:
3" tape laid out
Dale Simonson:
prep table in place (in driveway!)
Dale Simonson:
new legs on old door, some space to lay things out (but only while the 11-month rainy season holds off!)
Dale Simonson:
stern transom
Dale Simonson:
a bit of weave showing through, I wonder if it needs another coat of resin before the I put the cloth on?
Dale Simonson:
seems well "wetted-out"
Dale Simonson:
with the glass tape on, you can now see the fairing I did, with newly added dark "filleting" compound contrasting with the orignal thickened "adhesive" compound
Dale Simonson:
the bow gets an extra layer: two pieces of 3" tape overlapping with a 1" offset
Dale Simonson:
another angle that clearly shows the darker "filleting" compound contasting with the dimples and voids that it filled in the lighter colour "adhesive" epoxy which was used when the plank was hung
