| 4/18/04 | Cut and installed framing aft of bulkhead 6, some of the seat framing, and the floor boards around the center board trunk in the cockpit. | 7 hrs | 
|
| 5/1/04 | Worked in the area forward of bulkhead 1 today.
Filled in the seams with epoxy and chopped strand fiberglass and taped the
seams and the bulkhead to hull joint with 4-inch biaxial tape, also
covering all ply surfaces with epoxy. Later in the afternoon I applied a
second epoxy coat, this time with white pigment mixed in the resin. The
intent of the white pigment is to lighten up these enclosed areas without
the need for painting. Working up here is awkward at best.
Also cut and fit the carlines, including notching bulkhead 4 and frame 5. |
6 hrs | |
| 5/2/04 | Applied final coat of pigmented epoxy to
forepeak area. The pigment works fairly well.
