Finalizing the second plank

As planned I fine tuned the plank and glued it on.
It starts to look like a boat now. 

As can been seen from the photo I am a bit messy with the epoxy.





As the outside temp is just above freezing point I have to use the electric fan heater to get the shed at 15 degrees C for curing the epoxy.

This heater is very effective. I keep it running now after gluing on just 600 watt and switch it of after 2 or 3 hours.  The curing will be started then and as the curing is an exothermic process, as far as I know, the heat will not be a problem. The end result until now is fine.


The coming week I will do some cleaning of the hull and the shed.  Maybe I will also start on the next plank.  Who knows...
