Cleaning done

With a heatgun and a paintscraper I did remove most unwanted epoxy from the hull. 

In the process I noticed that a few screws that I had covered with epoxy were at the surface.

With the thin 4mm plywood you don't want to countersink the screwhead to much in view of the risk that you pull the screw through the ply.  As a consequence apparently I did not sink a few far enough. 

Getting the screw out will be difficult. Too much use of the heatgun at one spot will cause delamination. Have to think how to solve that.

Tomorrow our grandson is coming. His parents are out for the weekend so not much work, if any, will be done on the boat the coming days
