Day 27 - 3rd layer of hull reinforcing


Yesterday, put down the 3rd layer of fiberglass fabric on the inside of the hull. Getting much better at putting this stuff in place with no bubbles. The flash shows the the edges of the fabric pretty well. With just ambient light, you can barely tell where the edges are. The surface has the texture of the fabric. I will probably leave it to provide more traction when climbing in and out of the kayak.



Also did an end pour at the bow. This will provide me some meat to drill through and attach a carrying handle when I get done. Nearly ready for the top deck to join the hull. Need to figure out how to attach the foot braces.


I am taking a few days off the kayak. I've been running a cold and I don't think the fiberglass fumes are helping at all. Have been wearing a respirator with most of the work.
