Filling, sanding and gunwales




Filleted and did a basic fairing job on the outside chines. Not perfect and rather messy, which meant I had to do a load more sanding than I would have wanted to. Will need to do another layer of fairing as there are a few small cavities and areas which aren't as smooth as I'd like.


Fitted the upper inwale, the balcotan adhesive is fantastic. So quick to bond (20 minutes and you can take the clamps off!) and seems very strong - I haven't had to use any screws or nails. I scarf jointed the inwales at the midpoint as it was a bit difficult to bend them through the complete curve, and I didn't have enough clamps to hold the full length in place.
