Day 43 - Panel 2 Glassed

There are 5 basic panels I have to cover with epoxy and fiberglass cloth,
1) transom
2 & 3) both sides of the bottom
4 & 5) both sides of the boat

I've got the transom done and tonight I did one half of the bottom. I'm using 50" cloth so it overlaps both the center seam and the chine shelf seam. I really like the way it's going on and the boat looks great. I'll need to fill the weave of the cloth on each side after it first goes on. If I can do it in less than 24 hours I won't have to sand. I've already missed the window for the transom. I'll try to get the section I did today filled tomorrow.
