Rolled epoxy all around the insides, put fillets in all the corners, a strip of fiberglass in all the corners and a sheet of fiberglass in the bottom and it looks pretty good.
But all that white needs to be filled in, so with some more epoxy and some vigorous rolling with a roller we end up with this.
Dang that looks good! Only took me eight months to figure out how to do it this well.
And here's a close up showing the weave.
Oh, and for a little bit of fancy, the top of the front panel has a nice curve in it. I had cut the panel tall just for just this reason. A nail at the top center and one on either side at the side panel level, a quick curve with my piece of PVC and some work with the jigsaw and it looks pretty good!
The only thing I wish I'd done was make the height of the sides match the height of the shelves, but oh well, a little late to change that now. :-)
And of course, with no longer being able to climb up through the transom, alternate arrangements had to be made.
The ladder works, but I'm glad I waited this long to do this project.
Another coat of white was put on the ceiling of both the cuddy and the cabin. Both will eventually get headliner, but until then I just can't stand to look at the half-painted look. Some other pieces got painted as well.
The fixture for the fuel selector valve was 5200'd to the rear cabin wall. More painting there obviously, but the painting is starting to wind down.
Will get a late start tomorrow as I have to work in the morning. Flying by helicopter out to Cape Spencer to work on a cell site.
