Sanding

Over the last week I must have put in at least 10hrs of sanding, filling then sanding then filling :-( but is almost at the stage where I can start applying the Primer. I have chosen to go with International Marine paints 'InterProtect' 2pak Epoxy primer.



Sanding in progress



Jet ski Transition hull mod

Because the ski hull sat lower and had a different profile than the Squirt hull I epoxied a piece of High Density foam to the hull and shaped it so that it gradually merged into the Squirt.




Cut HD Foam





Fiberglass and Epoxy the foam in place

Once the Epoxy had dried I sanded it down to follow the contours of the Squirt.
600 csm was then used to glass the foam into the hull. 

 To finish and to assist with sanding I smoothed over a piece of peel ply, it was a little tricky trying to remove all the air bubbles but I think it will work well.

Completed Hull

With the skinning of the hull now complete I am currently in the process of filling all the screw holes and small imperfections with Epoxy filler made from epoxy and Q-cel. I figure if I fill a little each day I should almost be ready to start glassing the joins this weekend.
