She's glassed. The camera batteries died on me but I'll get some afterwhile. I did not have any problems with it at all.

You're doing a fantastic job on a beautiful design, Darrell. She's going to look great on the water. You are going to get many complimentary comments from onlookers. You may spend so much time talking to gawkers that you won't be able to get much paddling time in.

I may look busy, but I'm only confused.

New batteries:
Note: The light spots toward the back in the first picture is a window with the sun shining through. It's not epoxy starved glass.

I need it to warm up. This cold weather is killing my building. Guess I should have bought the cold weather epoxy,of course then it would be 85 degrees.

I set it out in the sun today while I was moving the strongback out of the way. It looks pretty good considering it still needs one more coat of epoxy and then varnishing. Going to start sanding the inside and hopefully get it glassed before the next cool front. Then while its cool I can build the deck and then glass it on the next warm spell. Thats my plan but I wouldnt bet that it will work out.
