Today's achievements were
Sand down the sides of the keel to get all the glue squeeze out off
General sand of anything that needed a tidy up before the port side bottom battens go on.
Drilled holes in 3 battens ready for glueing
Glued some spacers into two batten notches that were too deep
Re-sawed my remaining offcuts into battens, mostly short bits suitable for scarfing.
General tidy up of workbench and another big sweep up.
Cleaned up the scarf joints on the battens
Started to sand the batten with 220 grit .
I am hoping to do some glueing later today, but it's quite cold, in the garage at the moment it's only 12 degrees although it doesn't feel that cold. I need 15 minimum according to the epoxy instructions. I can see this becoming a real problem and foresee progress coming to a halt for a couple of months. I can probably keep myself fairly busy for another month with battens and associated works, after that it depend on the weather.
