Kayak Update


The weather got too cold to do any fibreglassing in an unheated workspace so work stopped for a while. Then the first week of January I moved it into a workshop and did the outside fibreglassing. I'm a little slow getting any photos posted.

Started on the bottom half.

Then moved to the top half. Here are a few shots showing the top after masking, after the first coat of epoxy on the wood, then a shot with the fibreglass and coat of epoxy, and then after another coat of epoxy and showing both halves.

Now the inside needs to be scraped, sanded and covered in fibreglass. Here is one shot of the inside after starting the scraping.
