Top Coat



The pictures are of the first coat of epoxy on the deck. Following a suggestion from West System Epoxy, I used a cut section of a paint roller to apply the resin. This works well because the hardness of the roller allows you to force the resing into the glass, spread the resin around and somewhat squeege the excess epoxy to sections that need resin.

Lift and Separate







Last feature before glassing the top is the day hatch. I purchased a store bought cover for the boat. Contrary to the theme of the boat but the hatch cover is a great design and easily pops on and off although building the collar to match the cover was a challenge (center picture).
