Spent a couple of hours sanding down the excess glue around various joints in preparation for applying a couple of coats of timber sealer. It's slow and awkward work, so far I am only about 25% of the way through that task.
I did start off using the sanding attachment on my Bosch oscillating tool but the sanding pad gets hot and melts the Velcro hooks so I gave up on that and I'm doing it by hand.
I also cut the athwart ship limbers, I decided eventually to cut them in the forward side of frames 0, 4, & 6.
Spent some time looking at and fixing the fairing. Most of the work was focused forward of frame 8.
Last thing for the weekend was cutting out the full sheet for the aft port side first layer and then slicing up the remainders of the two sheets into 100mm strips.
I am only going to get a few hours on the boat over the next couple of weeks. Hopefully I will be applying the timber sealer about mid October, and then skinning can begin.
