Pretty much done on the outside. Now the attention turns to the inside. Using my 3 foot long syringe extender tool, I ran a bead of thickened epoxy from the bow and the stern. I made it somewhat runny - about the consistency of some good solid phlegm. The head lamp I picked up made the work much easier, but it was still difficult to see what was going on. Luckily, there will be no style points given on the inside of the hull. The white stuff in the picture is dust from the sanding.
To give me a little assistance on getting the goop into the groove, I tipped the boat on edge. Special thanks to Sheryl for holding the boat on its side while I adjusted the angled brackets and then tied the boat to the sawhorses. It's pretty stable. The picture is taken from the stern. Tomorrow, I'll sand down some of the rough spots and run some fiberglass cloth over the top of the fillet, then flip the bad boy over.
