There are NO picture of me sanding today. Though I was sanding, I was tired of it. I got all t he drip marks off. After using the 100 grit, I then did a couple passes with some 150 and 220 grit. That went very fast. After using the compressor to clean out the brunt of the dust from the garage and from the car, it was time for a rub down. Gave the boat a quick rub with some towels to remove any latent dust, then had a beer. While working on the beer, I installed the hull identification number on the stern.
Since my wife was sleeping, I was able to bang out the saturation coat on the top deck, and a think coat of resin on the bottom gunwales where I had sanded. As you can see, the grain really popped. Yes - it looks better in person. There are some shiny areas. Those are where I had some resin residue on the hull. Once I get another coat on, they'll disappear. The picture is of the stern.
This is a picture from the bow.
This is the starboard side of the boat. Time to cure overnight. If I feel energetic, I'll glass the top deck tomorrow.
