This weekend the bottom of the first pontoon was closed and she could be turned upright. Another milestone 🙂
I’ve also started work on the second pontoon. The glued together sides are on the garage floor. Bulkheads are done already, so I should be able to start gluing her together next weekend. It’s going to be a crowded garage.
Next is filleting all the joints. It’s pretty hard to get epoxy thick enough so it doesn’t run. I need to add about 10% filler material, measured by weight (150 g of epoxy needs 15 g of filler). That makes it so thick it’s hard to mix. In the end IÂ kust checked every few hours and smooth out any runners. Not perfect, but good enough for me.
I’ll put injection resin on the inside to make the wood waterproof. I may also paint the inside, haven’t decided on that yet.
