Another long day today. I filled all the nail holes that are in the bow support beams. I had marked the overhead areas that show below in the sub deck and taped them off, then 2 part epoxy primer went on. I primed the support beams that I glued back together for the port bow area and started removing more deck along the port side down to the first engine room vent.
I was cursing the PO that used epoxy to bed the screw hole plugs in the quarter round that sits against the house. That took some time removing the plugs then cleaning the slot so a screwdriver would fit.
Tomorrow the top coat goes on then I can make a pattern for the 17mm ply and start assembling the sub deck. Hopefully by Friday.
Cheers!
