The interior looking aft, with +- 7 coats of epoxy (devoe 235) all done
in different colors, using mirrors to get the back side of the frames,
etc... a real painful and tedious process. I had an external air supply
while I did this, and used a 2 gallon pressure pot, which meant a lot
of hoses to drag around. I couldn't have a helper because I didn't have
a second external air supply, and I couldn't ask any one else to breathe
that stuff. Trying to overcoat within 24 hours so I wouldn't have to sand
between coats meant just going and going and going for about 2 weeks straight,
and it was a burnout. But in this shot we're there, and the hull cleats
are on... good honduran mahogany bought when a big lumber yard went under,
coated with 2 coats of west and through bolted with stainless 1/4-20s
to the frames, all set in 5200. I had punched 1200 hole in all the frames
earlier, before plating. Next
